Various birth characteristics may influence healthy childhood development, including the risk of developing childhood brain tumors (CBTs). In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between delivery methods, obstetric history, and birth anthropometrics with the risk of CBTs. This study used data from the Childhood Brain Tumour Epidemiology Study of Ontario (CBREO) which included children 0-15 years of age and newly diagnosed with CBTs from 1997 to 2003.

Introduction: Our objective was to study convection enhanced delivery (CED) of Lu-labeled metal chelating polymer (MCP) conjugated to gold nanoparticles ([Lu]Lu-MCP-AuNP) alone or combined with anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) for improving the survival of immunocompetent C57BL/6J mice with orthotopic GL261 murine glioma tumors.

Methods: C57BL/6J mice with GL261 tumors were treated with [Lu]Lu-MCP-AuNP (0.8 or 2.

Article Synopsis
  • Brain surgeons need standardized rules for handling brain tumors during surgery to improve diagnosis and treatment.*
  • Right now, guidelines mainly exist for one type of brain tumor, but others could also benefit from these rules.*
  • Having experts from different fields work together is important for creating these standardized practices to help patients and research better.*
