A Brain Tumor is the growth of abnormal cells in the tissues of the brain. Brain tumors can be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).

Head injuries may contribute to the development of glioma

Researchers from the UCL Cancer Institute have provided important molecular understanding of how injury may contribute to the development of a relatively rare but often aggressive form of brain tumor called a glioma.

CHLA researchers receive funding to support studies into diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma

Researchers at Children's Hospital Los Angeles have received a nearly $1 million K08 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - as well as funding from the U.S. Department of Defense - to support studies into diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a childhood brain tumor with a 0% survival rate.

Case Western Reserve wins $3.03 million grant to advance novel MRI and software technology for brain tumor diagnosis

Most medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are inherently qualitative, which can lead to subjective analysis and inconsistent conclusions.

Breakthrough technology identifies rare brain tumor cell "spies" disguised as normal cells

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology developed a novel technology which allows genomic DNA and RNA sequencing to be carried out simultaneously in single cells of both frozen and fresh tissues, and identified rare brain tumor cell "spies" disguised as normal cells with this method.

New device identifies key membrane protein in urine that could be used to detect brain cancer

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have used a new device to identify a key membrane protein in urine that indicates whether the patient has a brain tumor.

Unexpected discovery may lead to improved treatments for YAP fusion-driven cancers

An unexpected discovery made by experts at the Brain Tumor Center at Cincinnati Children's while studying a rare-but-deadly type of brain tumor may also lead to improved treatments for several other forms of cancer that share a common influencing factor called a YAP fusion protein.
