Is there a cure for brain tumours?
There is no cure but a number of new approaches show promise. New research is targeting the biological processes that cause normal cells to multiply abnormally. Other basic and clinical research is investigating angiogenesis inhibitors, differentiating agents, gene therapy, immunotherapy and invasion inhibitors. Existing approaches to treating brain tumours are being refined, including new surgical techniques, stereotactic radiosurgery and new drug delivery systems.
