London, June 15 : Researchers have warned that incessant use of mobile phones may cause a brain tumour pandemic in Britain.
A recent 17 million-pounds study concluded that the risk of the disease is at least 25 per cent more than previous studies showed, and only those who talk on their mobile for 30 minutes a [...]
Washington, Feb 23 (ANI): Scientists have identified a potential therapeutic target for brain cancer.
They have discovered a protein that is highly expressed in a subgroup of glioblastoma brain tumour cells and show that depletion of this protein increases the survival of mice with these tumours.
Recent studies have increased our understanding of cancer by elucidating some [...]
New Delhi, Feb 1 (ANI): A group of scientists has said that caffeine found in coffee and green tea could effectively slow the growth of brain cancer tumours.

Patients with one subtype treated with this [...]
Washington, Jan 16 (ANI): Scientists from University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Centre have found that cancer stem cells that trigger the most lethal type of brain tumour also suppress an immune system attack on the disease.
They say that the effect can be greatly diminished by encouraging the stem cells to differentiate into other [...]
Washington, Jan 16 (ANI): A combination of compounds in marijuana could help fight off a particularly deadly form of brain cancer, preliminary research suggests.
Researchers at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute (CPMCRI) combined the non-psychoactive Cannabis compound, cannabidiol (CBD), with 9-tetrahyrdocannabinol (9-THC), the primary psychoactive active ingredient in Cannabis.
They found the combination boosts the [...]
Washington, January 11 (ANI): A new study has shed light on the role of stem cells in medulloblastomas, the most common type of children’’s brain tumor.
Researchers at Queen Mary, University of London, studied equivalent cells taken from mouse brains.
