Scientists identify a new drug that halts recurring brain tumor growth
When a non-metastatic brain tumor—a meningioma—recurs after surgery and radiation treatment, a patient is out of options. No drugs are approved for these aggressive tumors, which occur in up to 20% of cases and can lead ...

Research sheds light on link between meningiomas and seizures
Meningiomas are the most common type of primary brain tumor. Found in the meninges– or the tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, meningiomas are often benign. However, some can behave more aggressively and recur. ...
