Australian researchers are discovering a more effective treatment for this deadly pediatric brain cancer

Sydney-Sana

Researchers from the Children's Cancer Institute in the Australian capital, Sydney, have discovered a potential new treatment for a deadly pediatric brain cancer that they consider the most effective treatment ever after being tested in laboratory models of incurable childhood cancer.

According to the research paper presented by the researchers and published by the scientific journal "Nature Communications", the treatment is a potential drug combination that was tested on laboratory animals, as it was shown in the first three-dimensional models of the tumor that it is amazingly effective in eliminating cancer cells.

And preclinical testing also showed on mouse models that the combination of the new drug kept two-thirds of the mice alive and completely stopped the growth of these highly aggressive tumors in these mice.

The new drug treatment, which is currently undergoing early trials in adult cancer, is the most effective treatment ever tested in laboratory models of this stubborn childhood cancer, according to the journal.
