Metformin and temozolomide act synergistically to inhibit growth of glioma cells and glioma stem cells in vitro and in vivo. This is only in the test tube and in mice, so more research is needed. This is a perfect use of the brain tumor virtual trial... we have 7 patients who used Metformin in addition to Temodar, and they seem to be doing better than average. That is not enough patients to even consider using it but it is a good start. If everyone reading this joined the virtual trial project, we would have enough data to say it is worth using - or not. Go to virtualtrials.com and click virtual trial to join and for details. It is free and easy - we do not tell you what to do - we just observe the outcome.
Video Games Can Improve Cancer Survivors’ Cognitive Abilities Glad to hear this. They researched a particular program which requires health coaches. I would like to see research on playing free or inexpensive games that kids love, such as candy crush and Mahjong to se if it can help.
Cancer drug’s effectiveness overinflated in animal studies This is a major problem. All research should be reported - even negative results. Negative results are just as important, as they can prevent people from using the drug and prevent other researchers from trying the same experiments over and over again wasting time and money
