Pediatric Brain Tumor to Be Treated With a New Effective Drug Combination

A new experiment was conducted and showed that the growth of tumor slowed down and the tumor cells in labs and in mouse models were killed by aiming treatment at recurrent and resistant low-grade gliomas. Researchers combined a typical chemotherapy drug, carboplatin, and everolimus, to enhance the growth of the tumors. The combination resulted in the damaging of DNA and the death of cells in the laboratory models. An expert of a pediatric b....
