I would like to share my story with you.

A new study uncovers a cancer cell hierarchy that originates from a single cancer cell type, which can be targeted to slow cancer growth.</p> Tue, 07 Jul 2020 20:26:03 +0000 martin.maynard@mail.mcgill.ca 4670 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/donors-make-difference Future funds will let scientists study recurrent glioblastoma and cancer genomics at the single cell level Wed, 09 Oct 2019 19:32:45 +0000 Victor Swoboda 4047 at /neuro /neuro/article/patient-stories/life-after-brain-tumour “Slowly but surely, I’m getting back on my feet.” Tue, 23 Oct 2018 14:37:41 +0000 Victor Swoboda 3224 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/brain-cancer-fundraiser-leads-important-discovery-290587 <p><strong>Brain cancer begins in stem cells, targeting them may prevent tumour growth</strong></p> <p>Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) have found an exciting new way of treating brain cancer.</p> <p>Late stage brain cancer cells are heterogeneous — they differ down to the molecular level. This makes developing treatments at this stage difficult, because a drug that may be effective against one cell may not be effective against another.</p> Mon, 15 Oct 2018 14:12:31 +0000 saeesh.mangwani@mail.mcgill.ca 3209 at /neuro
