KCAL 9: "Tumor Scan May Help Save Brain Cancer Patients"

KCAL9 Rick Garica reports on July 31, 2009, 5:38pm PT. The special scan may help determine which brain cancer patients could benefit from a new drug.

A UCLA study led by Dr. Whitney Pope, assistant professor of radiological sciences, that uncovered a new way to predict which brain tumors would respond to Avastin before patients start the drug, was reported July 30 by HealthDay News and the Doctors Guide. The story also ran on the websites for U.S. News & World Report, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Austin American-Statesman, Health Scout, WFIE-TV (Ill.) KTVN-TV (Nev.) Lex 18-TV (Ky.) and WMBF-TV (Fla.), among others. Pope was quoted.
