While over the past 30 years there has been progress in terms of more accurate surgical removal of brain tumors, there has been no improvement in patient survival rates. If any of the cancer cells escape surgical removal, they repopulate and spread into healthy brain tissue.
Researchers at TGen are now trying to understand the genetic mechanisms behind these aggressive and invading cells. TGen investigators are also looking at genes that predict how malignant brain tumors respond to therapy.
