Brain Cancer clinical trials: common questions

The things people most often ask about brain cancer trials.

The brain is protected by a tightly sealed layer of cells lining its blood vessels, called the blood-brain barrier. It keeps most molecules in the bloodstream from reaching brain tissue, including many cancer treatments. This is one of the central challenges in brain cancer research: drugs that work well against tumours elsewhere in the body may not reach a brain tumour at all. A large part of research in this area focuses on treatments that can cross the barrier, or on delivering treatment directly to the tumour.

The information above is general in nature. Always discuss specific trial options and treatment decisions with your oncologist or treating team.
