A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

A team of Canadian scientists has uncovered a new way to slow the growth of glioblastoma, the most aggressive and currently ...

Cancer Facts & Figures 2026 is an educational companion for Cancer Statistics 2026, a scientific paper published in the ...

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

Scientists have discovered that breast cancer can quietly throw the brain’s internal clock off balance—almost immediately after cancer begins. In mice, tumors flattened the natural daily rhythm of ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body. These cancers cannot be cured with conventional cancer treatments, as they ...

Chemotherapy, anti-cancer drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells, encompasses a wide variety of different agents. Some chemotherapeutic agents work by directly killing cancer cells, while others ...

Filippo Beleggia, MD, PhD, didn’t believe his own data. As a postdoctoral researcher, he spent years in the laboratory of Christian Reinhardt, MD, PhD, at the University Hospital Cologne, Cologne, ...

A new study offers hope for brain cancer patients facing memory loss from radiotherapy. By blocking a single immune receptor, scientists preserved cognition in mice without dulling the cancer-killing ...

Researchers found better detection, treatment and decreased smoking have been immensely helpful in reducing deaths due to ...

Scientists at McMaster University and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have identified a previously hidden population of brain cells that actively fuel glioblastoma growth — and, crucially, ...
