Here we show that dexamethasone can reduce glioma growth in mice, even though it depletes infiltrating T cells with potential antitumor activity.
MRI scans could be used to determine which drug will work best against a brain tumor.
Melanie was 9 months old when her parents faced an agonizing decision. She had already had two operations for a malignant brain tumor, and doctors could not be sure they had removed all the cancer.

A discovery by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists suggests a safer way to treat medulloblastoma, a rare but often fatal childhood brain tumor.
Cotara® Appears Safe and Well Tolerated in Dosimetry and Phase II Trials, with Some Patients Already Past the Expected Median Average Survival Time for This Population – - Data From Dosimetry Trial Accepted for Presentation at 2008 ASCO Annual Meeting
A novel drug that fully eliminated brain tumors from mice in a dramatic 2004 study has shown a darker side—causing permanent bone damage in younger mice.
Scientists have developed a computer model that predicts the brain patterns elicited by looking at different images — a possible first step on the path to mind reading.
Scientists at a new cancer research facility will use a unique method to identify specific cells that grow brain tumours as they seek a cure for the deadly disease.
Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc., a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of cancer therapies, today announced that Phase II data on the Company’s Neuradiab product candidate as a treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) were published in the journal, Neuro-Oncology.
