GLIOMA

Prof.Dr. Shigeru Nakashima, Gifu, JAPAN, devised a therapy that in vivo and in vitro (cell cultures and with naked mice) already showed significant success in treating p53 negative and as well as p53 positive glioma cells.

In short, brain cancer in almost 95 % of cases ends with death within a year after diagnosis. The reasons are that brain surgery is often highly complicated or not even possible and that the negative glioma cells do not respond to chemo therapy or radiation therapy.

So far all tests showed an above 40 % success rate. This project will be finalised in 2011.
