How Do Brain Cancer Cells Spread? New Study Finds Clues
Glioblastoma is the most prevalent and deadliest type of brain cancer, and each year around 10, 000 individuals in the U.S. are diagnosed with the disease. Now, researchers have found a protein that may provide insight into how the disease moves and invades nearby healthy brain tissue. In addition, the researchers suggest that a cost-effective FDA-approved drug already on the market could slow movement of these deadly cancer cells. The study is published May 1 in the online, open-access journal PloS Biology.
Living Kidney Donors Benefit From New Imaging Protocols
A new study from UCLA shows how magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) are equivalent in delineating anatomy in living renal donors. In a study that examined 30 patients and 60 kidneys, both modalities were "excellent" in detecting the number of renal arteries and veins. Dr. Mittul Gulati, lead author for the study noted, "either MRA or CTA are great tools for helping surgeons remove kidneys safely, identifying donor and recipient veins and vessels, and identifying incidental findings.
