A new potential drug therapy has been discovered for a rare, incurable pediatric brain tumor, by targeting a genetic mutation found in children with cancer, by Northwestern Medicine scientists. By inhibiting the tumor-forming consequences of the mutation using an experimental drug called GSKJ4, they delayed tumor growth and prolonged survival in mice with pediatric brainstem glioma. Also known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), the disease occurs ...Tuesday 18 November 2014
Potential Therapy Found for Incurable Pediatric Brain Tumor
A new potential drug therapy has been discovered for a rare, incurable pediatric brain tumor, by targeting a genetic mutation found in children with cancer, by Northwestern Medicine scientists. By inhibiting the tumor-forming consequences of the mutation using an experimental drug called GSKJ4, they delayed tumor growth and prolonged survival in mice with pediatric brainstem glioma.
