Feinstein医学研究所Karches癌症研究中心教授Marc Symons博士正在测试一种治疗蛲虫的常用药物是否可以代替目前某种脑癌的疗法。近日他们在同行审查的、可开放获取的Molecular Medicine杂志上发表了一些研究成果。这些研究成果有助于延长遭受最常见的脑瘤--即低级神经胶质瘤病人的生命。低级神经胶质瘤是一种源于支持和保护大脑神经系统细胞的肿瘤。这些肿瘤的疗法包括手术治疗、放射疗法和化疗。因为大多数药物都不 Marc Symons, Ph.D., professor of Karses Cancer Research Center at the Feinstein Institute of Medical Research, is testing whether a common drug used to treat pinworms can replace some of the current forms of brain cancer. Recently, they published some research results in peer-reviewed and open-access Molecular Medicine magazine. These findings have helped to prolong the lives of patients suffering from the most common brain tumor, low grade gliomas. Low grade gliomas are tumors that originate from cells that support and protect the brain’s nervous system. Therapies for these tumors include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Because most drugs are not
