- 1Proliferative Pause Offers Window to Prevent Brain Metastasis●Proliferative Pause Reveals Window to Prevent Brain Metastasis
Researchers describe a 'proliferative pause' — a period when cancer cells spreading to the brain stop dividing before reactivating — and suggest this dormant phase could be a critical treatment window to stop brain metastases before they take hold. Targeting cells during this pause may prevent lethal secondary brain tumours in cancers prone to spreading there.
- 213-Year-Old Reportedly Cured of Deadly Childhood Brain Cancer DIPG●A 13-Year-Old Has Been Cured of DIPG, the Deadliest Childhood Brain Cancer
A 13-year-old child has reportedly been cured of DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, an aggressive brainstem tumour long considered incurable and uniformly fatal in children. The case is described as a world first, offering rare hope that experimental treatments may change the outlook for a disease that has seen almost no survival progress for decades.
