TORONTO (PRWEB)

The metastasis of certain systemic cancers to the brain poses a significant challenge to oncologists and patients alike. Several key modulators in the hostile brain tumor microenvironment promote cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, growth factor signaling, migration and invasion. There is a growing need to understand brain metastases.

The complexity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of effective targeted drugs that penetrate BBB is the greatest challenge in treating brain metastases. Consequently, many researchers are experimenting with various in vitro and in vivo models of brain metastases to better understand how these cancers migrate to the brain, and what type of therapeutic molecules penetrate the BBB to reach brain tumor cells.

In this webinar, the featured speaker discusses few of these preclinical models that might impact the clinical development of metastatic brain tumor-specific anticancer drugs.

Join this webinar to learn about the challenges for developing clinically relevant preclinical models for brain cancer.

Join Dr. Nagendra Ningaraj, Global Senior Director of Scientific Affairs, Aragen Life Sciences, USA, for the live webinar on Thursday, August 25, 2022, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).
