CLEVELAND, Ohio — New research at Case Western Reserve University seeks to give hope to patients with glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor that kills 90% of patients within two years of diagnosis.
CWRU has received a five-year, $3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute — a part of the National Institutes of Health — to enhance MRI technology to more accurately diagnose brain tumors, CWRU announced recently.Current MRI scans don’t do a good job of identifying the boundaries of brain tumors. If all of a glioblastoma isn’t removed surgically, the tumor can return even after radiation and chemotherapy.
In addition, data generated by current MRI scans is hard to interpret, hard to reproduce and can vary based on the type of scanners — even in the same hospital, saidin the department of biomedical engineering at the CWRU School of Medicine. The new technology under development is aimed at allowing MRIs to provide highly specific data, provide personalized treatment for patients and improve patient outcomes by measuring and predicting the spread of brain tumors in glioblastoma patients.
