Find new ways to treat brain tumors without surgery

South Korean authorities on March 28 announced a group of scientists from the country have found a new method without surgery and can still put drugs into tumors in the brain, opening up new opportunities for treatment. for patients.

Accordingly, scientists have developed a method to open the blood brain barrier to be able to inject "doxorubicin" into the tumor in the brain.

They also used magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to see how ultrasound changes converge from within a common glial and brain tumor.

The introduction of drugs into brain tumors, which is considered a major challenge by the presence of "blood brain barrier" - (Artwork).

This method also helps determine the link between the above changes and the results obtained from doxorubicin chemotherapy.

Previously, the introduction of drugs into brain tumors, which is considered a major challenge by the presence of "blood brain barrier" - a layer of endothelial cells acts as a barrier, blocking certain elements , including immune cells, viruses, away from the blood into the central nervous system.

Research leader Park Joo-yeong of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Medical Invention Fund, affirmed this is a new technology to increase the effectiveness of treatment by opening a blood-brain barrier, while many drugs in the pharmaceutical market. Currently, it is not possible to overcome this "barrier" .

The Ministry of Science, Communication and Future Plans of Korea is the sponsor for the above study and the results of this work have been published in the latest issue of the Journal of Controlled Journal Release ".
