Patients receiving cranial irradiation treatment for brain cancer may find the treatment life-saving. Despite this, they often suffer progressive and debilitating cognitive detriments, including spatial learning and memory deficits. The cognitive deficits are a contributing factor to the often significant adverse impacts on the surviving patients' quality of life after radiation therapy. In an effort to improve post-irradiation cognitive impairment, scientists ...Saturday, 24 August 2013
Researchers Are Attempting To Use Stem Cell Transplantation To Treat Brain Cancer
Patients receiving cranial irradiation treatment for brain cancer may find the treatment life-saving. Despite this, they often suffer progressive and debilitating cognitive detriments, including spatial learning and memory deficits. The cognitive deficits are a contributing factor to the often significant adverse impacts on the surviving patients' quality of life after radiation therapy.
