10.01.2022 Today is Childhood Brain Cancer Awareness Day. It is estimated that around 100 children aged 0-14 years are diagnosed with brain cancer each year and that an estimated 36 children will die from brain cancer in 2020. Childhood brain cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in Australian children.... The NeuroSurgical Research Foundation is proud to support childhood brain cancer research at the Centre for Cancer Biology, University of South Australia. Research Associate Dr Mel Tea is focused on medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumour in children, frequently occurring in early childhood before the age of five. Treatment for medulloblastoma involves surgical resection, radiation of the brain and spine, and chemotherapy. The five-year survival rates have improved over the last 20 years, however unsurprisingly, exposure of the developing brain to chemotherapy and radiotherapy has detrimental life-long side effects. These include neurological and auditory deficits, secondary cancers and hormonal dysfunction, as well as non-physical deficits such as learning difficulties and psycho-social issues. As a result, Dr Tea says that finding new, less toxic targeted therapies for medulloblastoma is desperately needed. We have identified a new therapeutic target for medulloblastoma, and new experimental drugs for this target that show great promise as a potential new therapy for medulloblastoma. Our aim is to assess this potential new therapeutic approach in advanced preclinical models of medulloblastoma. Successful outcomes will provide impetus for future clinical trials for medulloblastoma treatment, she said.

08.01.2022 To all our NRF supporters, we hope you are taking care of yourselves during this challenging time in South Australia with the COVID-19 outbreak. To our supporters who have had surgeries, treatment or rehabilitation postponed or cancelled, we are thinking of you. #SouthAustralia #Adelaide #staysafe #washhands #stayhomeadelaide #braintumourawareness #strokeawareness #parkinsonsawareness #TBI #braininjuryawareness #health #researchmatters #NRFTeamNeuro #Neurosurgicalresearchfoundation

08.01.2022 Dr Lisa Ebert is a Research Associate at the Centre for Cancer Biology - University of South Australia/SA Pathology. Here she is speaking at the NeuroSurgical Research Foundation's Annual Research presentations event, which was held on Wednesday 23 September 2020. Her research is focused on supercharging the immune system to beat brain cancer. "CAR-T cell therapy is a new type of cancer treatment based on ‘supercharging’ a patient’s own immune system. It has shown great success in the treatment of certain blood cancers, and our team is now adapting this approach for the treatment of adult and childhood brain cancer. I will present some highlights from our pre-clinical research program and give an overview of our upcoming clinical trials," Dr Ebert said.

01.01.2022 At the NRF 2020 Annual General Meeting last Wednesday 23 September, a new President was sworn in! Congratulations to Dr Glenn McCulloch a retired neurosurgeon and current Board Member. Dr McCulloch said, I would like to thank former President Prof Robert Vink AM for his outstanding work over the past 15 years. Not only has he served as President but he has also served as Board Member and held the NRF Chair of Neurosurgical Research at the University of Adelaide. I have t...aken over as President of the NRF. I joined the NRF Board in 2010 after I retired from operative neurosurgery, later holding the positions of Vice-President and Chair of the Scientific Committee. I have become involved because I want to be a part of the team that finds solutions to the treatment and cures for brain tumours, traumatic brain injury and other devastating neurosurgical conditions, he said. #NRF #NRFTeamNeuro #neurosurgicalresearchfoundation #Adelaide #SouthAustralia #neurology #Strokeresearch #TBIresearch #braininjury #braintumourresearch #braincancerresearch #curebraincancer #makeadifference #Parkinsons #Parkinsonsdisease #medicalresearch #givehope
