The Genetic Landscape of the Childhood Cancer Medulloblastoma

TL;DR: Key differences between the genetic landscapes of adult and childhood cancers are demonstrated, dysregulation of developmental pathways as an important mechanism underlying MBs is highlighted, and a role for a specific type of histone methylation in human tumorigenesis is identified.
Journal Article

Combination therapy of inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (AEE788) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (RAD001) offers improved glioblastoma tumor growth inhibition.

TL;DR: Combined AEE788 and RAD001 given orally to athymic mice bearing established human malignant glioma tumor xenografts resulted in greater tumor growth inhibition and greater increases in median survival than monotherapy, suggesting that simultaneous inhibition of growth factor receptor and mTOR pathways offer increased benefit in gliomas therapy.
