Are the chances for surviving brain cancer higher now?

So, yeah. I’ve got it apparently. This pretty much sucks. I’m wondering if I’m basically doomed to die or if cancer treatment has advanced enough. It’s a bit before my next visit where all the questions / etc will be asked and answered and I’m sure you can imagine that I’m pretty damn anxious and kind of would like an answer now – even if it’s not a professional.

From when do you want to compare to?
Surviving brain cancer has little to do with age it is dependent on type/grade and how well you respond to treatment. It is impossible to throw out a percentage with no Information and it would be meaningless anyway. Median survival can be as little as 1 year. Some brain cancers have 5 year survival rates of 80-90%.

A Functional Study of Notch Signaling in Brain Cancer Stem-like Cells $72.99 Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and confers a dismal prognosis. Despite intense effort, treatment remains a significant therapeutic challenge and new modalities are desperately needed. In recent years a population of cancer cells with neural stem cell (NSC)-like properties has been reported in GBM. It is hypothesized that these so- called brain cancer stem-like cells (bCSC) are involved in brain tumor initiation, progression and treatment resistance. The Notch signaling pathway is known to be important in maintaining an undifferentiated pool of normal NSC and in determination of cell fate. Several recent data implicate a functional role for Notch signaling in GBM cells and when considering its role in normal NSC, the Notch signaling pathway might be an appropriate target for bCSC directed GBM therapy. The aim of the present project was to establish and characterize GBM stem-like cell cultures from xenograft tumors originating from human primary GBM, and subsequently investigate the significance of Notch expression and activation in these cultures.

After the Cure: The Untold Stories of Breast Cancer Survivors $16 2009 Association of American University Presses Award for Jacket DesignChemo brain. Fatigue. Chronic pain. Insomnia. Depression. These are just a few of the ongoing, debilitating symptoms that plague some breast-cancer survivors long after their treatments have officially ended. While there are hundreds of books about breast cancer, ranging from practical medical advice to inspirational stories of survivors, what has been missing until now is testimony from the thousands of women who continue to struggle with persistent health problems.After the Cure is a compelling read filled with fascinating portraits of more than seventy women who are living with the aftermath of breast cancer. Emily K. Abel is one of these women. She and her colleague, Saskia K. Subramanian, whose mother died of cancer, interviewed more than seventy breast cancer survivors who have suffered from post-treatment symptoms. Having heard repeatedly that ‘the problems are all in your head,’ many don't know where to turn for help. The doctors who now refuse to validate their symptoms are often the very ones they depended on to provide life-saving treatments. Sometimes family members who provided essential support through months of chemotherapy and radiation don't believe them. Their work lives, already disrupted by both cancer and its treatment, are further undermined by the lingering symptoms. And every symptom serves as a constant reminder of the trauma of diagnosis, the ordeal of treatment, and the specter of recurrence.Most narratives about surviving breast cancer end with the conclusion of chemotherapy and radiation, painting stereotypical portraits of triumphantly healthysurvivors, women who not only survive but emerge better and stronger than before. Here, at last, survivors step out of the shadows and speak compellingly about their ‘real’ stories, giving voice to the complicated, often painful realities of life after the cure.This book received
