pediatric brain tumor team has dedicated subspecialists, state - of - the - art radiation technology, and access to advanced pediatric treatments that other hospitals in North Texas don't offer.
Our team also offers Gamma Knife and LINAC - based forms of radiosurgery
for pediatric brain tumors — techniques that no other institution in North Texas has readily available for children.
As these compounds are already approved for clinical trails in
pediatric brain tumors, these findings suggest that drugs inhibiting MEK activity could offer a new therapy option for children with these devastating tumors.
Sanford Research scientists are published in Nature Cell Biology for their work developing a model to explore therapies for
a pediatric brain tumor known as choroid plexus carcinoma.
But rigorous studies that can transform the anecdotes into data are scarce: Colorado, one of 23 states (along with the District of Columbia) where medical marijuana is legal for adults, recently greenlighted up to $ 8.4 million in research grants on the drug, including studies in pediatric epilepsy and
pediatric brain tumors.

pediatric brain tumor.
Two studies published this week in Nature journals applied next - generation sequencing to
pediatric brain tumors, revealing a striking pattern of recurrent somatic mutations in H3F3A, a gene encoding the histone prorein H3.3.
The six tumors with matched normal DNA harbored 15 somatic mutations on average (range 3 - 31), a mutation rate lower than adult GBM but higher than
another pediatric brain tumor, medulloblastoma.
