Glioma

Partial or total resection appeared associated with longer OS compared with biopsy alone among a cohort of adults with brainstem high-grade gliomas, according to study results published in Journal of Neuro-Oncology.

Dolores Hambardzumyan, PhD, MBA, has been appointed senior faculty in the department of neurosurgery and member of The Tisch Cancer Institute at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

An international study of glioblastoma revealed a cellular pathway that appears to contribute to glioma stem cell spread and proliferation.

The FDA and European Medicines Agency granted orphan drug designation to zotiraciclib for the treatment of glioma, according to the agent’s manufacturer.

The FDA awarded 12 grants worth more than $15 million to fund clinical trials of medical products intended to treat patients with rare diseases.
