The project

Targeting tumor cells dissemination in medulloblastoma

This study is trying to understand why some childhood brain tumors spread through the fluid around the brain and spinal cord, which makes them much harder to treat. Researchers are focusing on a gene that may normally help keep tumor cells less aggressive, with the goal of finding ways to prevent this dangerous spread and improve outcomes for children.
