May 26th, 2009
According to recent research published in the journal Childs Nervous System, "Currently, there is no conclusive treatment for brainstem tumor. To facilitate the development of new treatments, it is essential to establish predictive preclinical in vivo models in which therapeutic modalities can be evaluated." "Although a few rodent models have been reported, there is no novel approach that can monitor tumor response qualitatively and quantitatively.
