Brain tumors called ependymomas that occur in different parts of the central nervous system appear to arise from subpopulations of stem cells called radial glia cells (RGCs), according to ...

This work included 79 cases of primary CNS tumors )38 ependymal tumors and 41 nonependymal CNS tumors). Of the 29 classic ependymomas studied, 24 (82.76%) cases were intracranially located, whereas 14 ...

For the first time in the world, an international study team with substantial participation from researchers from the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) of MedUni Vienna and Vienna University Hospital ...

The correlation between the histological features and clinical outcome remains poor in pediatric intracranial ependymomas. We performed a retrospective study of a group of 31 patients (diagnosed from ...

Ependymomas are brain tumors that arise from glial cells, which surround neurons and help support their function. Dr. Eric Holland of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center heads a project funded by a ...

Chinese scientists have been the first to show that combining anti-cancer poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase (PARP) inhibitors with radiotherapy may be effective for treating ependymoma CNS tumors ...

Single-and dual-color FISH experiments were performed for RB and paired p16 and CEP9 probes as previously reported. 30 Following deparaffinization, the sections were subjected to target retrieval by ...

Online Quality Control, Hyperfractionated Radiotherapy Alone and Reduced Boost Volume for Standard Risk Medulloblastoma: Long-Term Results of MSFOP 98 We characterized 59 ependymoma samples (33 at ...

Doctors’ ruling perspective on cancer has been that it is caused by a series of genetic changes. However, a team of researchers at the University of Michigan (UM) have shared a study that suggests ...

Ependymomas are tumors that grow in the brain or spinal cord and are the third-most common type of brain tumor in children. This type of cancer affects about 250 children in the United States each ...

Seventy-nine archival cases of primary CNS tumors (38 ependymal tumors and 41 nonependymal CNS tumors) were studied. Their paraffin blocks were collected from the archives of the Pathology Department, ...

Finding suggests that new drugs to treat ependymoma and other types of solid tumors should be designed to target the specific signal pathways that cause uncontrolled replication of cancer stem cells, ...
