Glioblastoma survivor defies odds with ultrasound-assisted therapy

Becca Valle’s migraines led to a glioblastoma diagnosis. After tumor removal, she joined a focused ultrasound trial to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier to boost chemotherapy. In 34 participants, the approach showed a survival advantage, with up to 40% alive longer than expected; Valle has no evidence of disease four years later and says she’s living life to the fullest. The device and method are not yet FDA-approved and not widely available.

Simple Supplement Combo Shows Promise Against Brain Cancer

A small study suggests that a supplement mix of resveratrol and copper may reduce the aggressiveness of glioblastoma brain tumors by altering cancer biomarkers, supporting a shift from traditional tumor-killing approaches to tumor healing and modulation of cancer biology. The treatment was well-tolerated with no side effects, but further research is needed to validate these findings.

Amino Acid Starvation Slows Brain Tumor Growth in Mice

Scientists discovered that glioblastoma brain tumors in mice grow more slowly when deprived of the amino acid serine, revealing a potential metabolic vulnerability that could be targeted for therapy. The tumors typically steal nutrients like serine from their environment to support rapid growth, but a serine-deficient diet slowed tumor progression and extended survival in mice, offering new hope for treatment strategies.
