Plymouth: According to a recent study, medications intended to treat blood and other malignancies may also increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy for low-grade brain tumours in adults.
Roughly 36 per cent of initial brain tumours are meningiomas. Most can be effectively treated with surgery, however radiotherapy is required for individuals that are difficult to treat. This may result in serious side effects and radiation damage to the brain, and tumour growth may also arise from treatment resistance.
