An overview of therapeutic approaches to brain tumor stem cells

 Primary and secondary malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors are devastating invasive tumors able to give rise to many kinds of differentiated tumor cells. Glioblastoma multiform (GBM), is the most malignant brain tumor, in which its growth and persistence depend on cancer stem cells with enhanced DNA damage repair program that also induces recurrence and resists current chemo- and radi...

Diagnosis of brain tumor using PNN neural networks

Cells grow and then need a very neat method to create new cells that work properly to maintain the health of the body. When the ability to control the growth of the cells is lost, they are unconsidered and often divided without order. Exemplified cells form a tissue mass called the tumor. In fact, brain tumors are abnormal and uncontrolled cell proliferations. Segmentation methods are used in b...

O 25: Immunotherapy for Brain Tumor

In 1890, Coley observed that cancer patients who developed infections had smaller tumors. From this, he developed Coley’s toxin and treated tumors with injections of infectious materials. In 1960s,  Mahaley used monoclonal antibodies to treat central nervous system(CNS)  tumors, that research and clinical investigations in brain tumor immunotherapy became a serious undertaking. ...
