Blastoma

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of primary brain cancer, known for its rapid growth and ability to infiltrate healthy brain tissue with microscopic tumor cells. This diffuse spread makes complete surgical removal extremely difficult, while the blood-brain barrier can limit the effectiveness of many drugs. Credit: Shutterstock Light-activated nanoparticles…

KNOXVILLE, TN, August 08, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Neuroblastoma remains one of the most unpredictable childhood cancers, ranging from tumors that regress without treatment to aggressive disease that resists intensive therapy. A new narrative review brings diagnosis, risk classification, surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and survivorship into a single clinical framework. It emphasizes…

A new delivery strategy uses ultrasound, microbubbles, and nanoparticles to carry microRNAs into the brain. Early results suggest it may attack several glioblastoma drivers at once. Credit: Stock Focused ultrasound helped deliver microRNAs that targeted multiple glioblastoma genes and improved outcomes in animal models. A treatment aimed at glioblastoma must…

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a promising experimental strategy for treating glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Fewer than 30% of patients survive for two years after diagnosis. The work, led by Oleh Taratula, Olena Taratula and Yoon Tae Goo of the OSU College of Pharmacy,…

A new preclinical study suggests an experimental mRNA vaccine could help the immune system fight neuroblastoma, one of the deadliest childhood cancers. Credit: Stock An experimental mRNA vaccine delayed neuroblastoma growth and sharply reduced tumor size in preclinical models. The success of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic sparked interest…

Following the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) meeting, MedPage Today convened three leaders in neuro-oncology and brain tumor imaging for a virtual roundtable discussion on the evolving role of advanced MRI in brain tumor care. Moderator Suyash Mohan, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, is joined by Caroline…
