2 sie 2024 · A groundbreaking study introduces a therapy that uses CAR T cells to target a newly discovered cancer cell infiltration pathway in the brain, effectively doubling survival times and eradicating tumors in preclinical models.
30 wrz 2024 · MSK’s radiation oncologists use proton therapy to treat a range of brain tumors and spine tumors. These include: leptomeningeal metastases (cancer that has spread to the space containing the brain, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid) gliomas. meningiomas (slow-growing, noncancerous tumors that form in the membranes that surround the brain)
Proton therapy can be used to treat benign and cancerous brain and spinal cord tumors, including: Chordomas and chondrosarcomas. Skull base meningiomas. Infiltrating gliomas. Pediatric and adult medulloblastoma. Ependymomas, a rare tumor that can occur in the brain and spinal cord.
27 paź 2023 · Proton beam therapy precisely targets brain tumors, allowing for the delivery of higher doses of radiation. The treatment is especially useful for tumors in children and tumors near eloquent brain tissue.
28 mar 2024 · Proton therapy is a rapidly growing advanced external beam radiotherapy modality used to treat malignant and benign tumors, with a potential clinical advantage on the basis of the elimination of medically unnecessary exit-dose compared with conventional x-ray (photon) radiotherapy.
Ongoing research is aimed at better understanding the biological and immunomodulatory effects of proton therapy and the consequences of the physical uncertainties on proton therapy and reducing them through image-guidance and adaptive radiotherapy.
