New Research Challenges Current Thinking on How Brain Cancer Develops
South Korean scientists have published the results of a study that provides vital insights indicating that brain cancer develops much earlier than the time when tumors become visible. Their findings could alter how brain cancer treatment is approached, especially efforts geared at limiting the possibility of its recurrence.
