2016 was an exciting year - but I think 2017 will be the year we see big steps forward!
Happy New Year!

Top Brain Tumor News Stories for 2016
By Al Musella, DPM, President, Musella Foundation For Brain Tumor Research & Information, Inc
2016 was an exciting year in the brain cancer world. The highlight for me was the announcement of the final results of the Optune trial, which established Optune as the standard of care for newly diagnosed Glibolastomas. Also of significance were the many positive reports for many different immunotherapies, and the new chemo drug, VAL-083.
