The team studied a tumor called ependymoma that affects the brains of children and adults, but can also translate into other forms of cancer. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The approach was developed by studying a tumor called ependymoma that affects the brains and spines of children and adults, but may also translate to other forms of cancer. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The most common childhood brain tumors are astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma and brain stem glioma. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Canada and Europe to conduct the most comprehensive analysis yet of the ependymoma genome. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Additional testing found that the mouse ependymoma model matched just one subtype of human ependymomas but no other form of common human brain tumors. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Jessica Elam, 15, is part of a clinical trial studying a new treatment for ependymoma, a type of tumor that affects the spine and central nervous system. ❋ Unknown (2010)
One of the SATC crew member's daughter, Minty, was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer (anaplastic ependymoma) in her first months of life. ❋ Unknown (2010)
In this study, investigators linked EPHB2 to just one ependymoma subtype. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The research also led to discovery of the first gene, called EPHB2, proven to cause ependymoma and has created the first accurate laboratory model of this disease. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Paramore determined that Barbara had anaplastic ependymoma, a malignant brain tumor that affects fewer than 25 children nationwide.
The patient had been immobile and bed-ridden since 1995, when he had neurosurgical resection of a medullary ependymoma of the spine, with residual paraplegia, peripheral neuropathy, and a neuropathic bladder with secondary chronic renal failure. ❋ Salomone Di Saverio Et Al. (2009)
The team analysed the genome wide expression pattern of ependymoma identifying three genes with distinct profiles. ❋ Unknown (2008)
They confirmed the involvement of these different genes in 74 samples of ependymoma. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Researchers from the Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre at The University of Nottingham, on behalf of the Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG), have found three genes associated with specific characteristics of ependymoma the third most common form of childhood brain cancer. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The results of this study provide a more detailed understanding of the genetics behind ependymoma, which could help scientists develop targeted drugs to treat the disease more successfully, and with fewer side effects. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Around 35 children are diagnosed with ependymoma each year in the UK, and around half of these will be under three years old. ❋ Unknown (2008)
