Massachusetts, September 10:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The innovative device, which is the size and shape of a grain of rice, can perform hundreds of studies at the same time to examine the impact of novel treatments on some of the most difficult-to-treat brain tumours. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham healthcare system, have created a device that can help in therapy testing in patients with gliomas, which are brain or spinal cord tumours. The device, which is meant to be used during standard-of-care surgery, provides unique insight into the impact of drugs on glioma tumours in a phase 1 clinical trial with no adverse effects on patients.

Results from the pilot clinical trial for the device are published in슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Science Translational Medicine. 슬롯사이트œIn order to make the greatest impact on how we treat these tumours, we need to be able to understand, early on, which drug works best for any given patient,슬롯사이트� said co-principal investigator and co-corresponding author Pierpaolo Peruzzi, MD, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at Brigham and Women슬롯사이트™s Hospital.

슬롯사이트œThe problem is that the tools that are currently available to answer this question are just not good enough. So we came up with the idea of making each patient their own lab, by using a device which can directly interrogate the living tumour and give us the information that we need.슬롯사이트� About 20,000 people in the US each year are diagnosed with gliomas, a type of tumour that affects the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas are also among the deadliest brain cancers and are notoriously difficult to treat.

One challenge in developing targeted therapies for glioma is that it can be difficult to test many different combinations of drugs in tumour cells because it슬롯사이트™s only possible to treat patients with one approach at a time. This has been a significant barrier for hard-to-treat cancers like gliomas, for which combination therapies are a promising avenue. Peruzzi worked closely with co-principal investigator Oliver Jonas, PhD, an associate professor in the Department of Radiology at Brigham, to develop a device that can work around some of the barriers to precision medicine in gliomas. These microdevices are implanted in a patient슬롯사이트™s tumour during surgery and removed before the surgery is complete.

슬롯사이트œIt슬롯사이트™s important that we are able to do this in a way that best captures the features of each patient슬롯사이트™s tumour and, at the same time, is the least disruptive of the standard of care,슬롯사이트� said Peruzzi. 슬롯사이트œThis makes our approach easy to integrate into patients슬롯사이트� treatment and allows its use in real life.슬롯사이트� In the time the device is implanted슬롯사이트”about 2-3 hours슬롯사이트”it administers tiny doses of up to 20 drugs into extremely small areas of the patient슬롯사이트™s brain tumour. The device is removed during the surgery and the surrounding tissue is returned to the lab for analysis.

Because the device works while the tumour is still in the body, conducting experiments this way gives the unparalleled ability to assess the effects of drugs on the tumour microenvironment, the cells immediately surrounding cancer cells that can make up almost half the mass of a tumour. 슬롯사이트œThis is not in the lab, and not in a petri dish,슬롯사이트� said Peruzzi. 슬롯사이트œIt's actually in real patients in real-time, which gives us a whole new perspective on how these tumours respond to treatment.슬롯사이트�

In the current study, the researchers tested their device on six patients undergoing brain surgery to remove a glioma tumour. None of the patients experienced any adverse effects from the device, and the researchers were able to collect valuable biological data from the devices, such as how the response changes based on drug concentrations, or what molecular changes each drug produces in the cells. While the study demonstrated that the device was safe and could be easily incorporated into surgical practice, the researchers are still working on determining the exact ways the data it gathers should be used to optimize glioma therapy.

The researchers are currently conducting a two-stage version of their procedure in which patients receive the device through minimally invasive surgery 72 hours before their main surgery. 슬롯사이트œWe슬롯사이트™re optimistic that this is a new generation approach for personalized medicine,슬롯사이트� said Peruzzi. 슬롯사이트œThe ability to bring the lab right to the patient unlocks so much potential in terms of the type of information we can gather, which is new and exciting territory for a disease that has very few options at present.슬롯사이트�
