A One-Two Combo Punch for Lung Cancer This sounds pretty good. It also worked in a mouse model of glioblastoma, so they are going to start a trial of this combination for Glioblastoma patients. Both parts of the combo are approved so they can be used off label now.
Optune Open House, Newton MA This is a nice series of meetings for patients and caregivers who use (or are thinking of using) Optune.
FDA issues Class I recall for Minnesota-made brain probe This is a rare occurence - happening about 12 times out of 1,800. The cause was identified and they are fixing the problem, and letting the doctors know about it so they can watch for it and prevent problems. I feel it is still a good treatment as this device is used for "inoperable" tumors that will most likely kill the patient without the treatment, so it is still worth the small risk.
