UC researchers learn more about how cancer spreads to brain
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati are announcing important information they've found about cancerous tumors and how the human brain plays a part.
They believe they’ve found how the brain's environment fuels tumor growth.
When a cancer cell breaks off from a tumor, it flows through the bloodstream and up to the brain.
The tumor cell takes root and rapidly grows.
While researchers don't know why this happens, they do know the process affects chemotherapy.
The findings are published in the Journal of Scientific Reports.
