A new approach developed by Frederic Leblond, Kevin Petrecca and colleagues offers improved definition of cancer and normal tissues during surgery. The Raman spectroscopy modality distinguishes ...

Optic glioma is a brain tumor primarily affecting children. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for this condition today.

Using a novel imaging method, a research team is investigating the mechanisms behind a potential targeted treatment for a subtype of the deadly brains tumors called gliomas.

This article will explain what a glioma is and the outlook for a person with a glioma diagnosis. It will also explain types, risk factors, and treatment options for glioma.

WebMD explains the symptoms, prognosis, and treatment of malignant glioma, a broad category of brain and spinal cord tumors.

Prospective Longitudinal Analysis of 2-Hydroxyglutarate Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Identifies Broad Clinical Utility for the Management of Patients With IDH -Mutant Glioma The following ...

image: Three-dimensional magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging reveals a decrease in tumor levels of 2-hydroxyglurate -- a metabolite that may contribute to tumor initiation -- in a patient with ...

While patients with gliomas characterized by mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzyme tend to live three to five times longer, with better response to chemo- and radiation therapy ...

Finding cancer cells can be particularly difficult with infiltrative cancers such as glioma, which invades surrounding brain tissue. Raman spectroscopy could help neurosurgeons find those errant ...

An increasing amount of research shows that LAT1/4F2hc is over-expressed in a variety of human tumors. Is it useful as a prognostic marker and/or potential therapeutic target in gliomas?
