Basic Research Services for Brain Tumors

Brain tumors, like most other malignant tumors, are mostly resistant to various treatment modalities such as traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy due to the diverse genotypic and phenotypic variations. Moreover, the existence of the blood-brain barrier prevents chemotherapeutic drugs for intracranial tumors from reaching the tumor tissue, objectively limiting the efficacy of most chemotherapeutic drugs. In addition, some brain tumors (e.g., glioma) have their biological characteristics, which infiltrate into the surrounding normal brain tissues at the beginning, making surgical operations almost impossible to completely remove the tumor. Therefore, it is more important to search for new therapeutic strategies for brain tumors from the basic research level.
