The objective of BCRC is divided into research and education. In this interest group we try to conduct and guide students to involve in scientific projects such as articles, books, etc. Also, educating students with focus on brain tumors by holding weekly meetings, and workshops is our main goal. Finally, we hope to have an effective role in the treatment of this lethal tumor and achieve promising results to improve life expectancy in these patients.
Glioblastoma multiform is considered as one of the most lethal brain tumors in adults. Despite all the advances in neuro-oncology research, it remains among the most challenging tumor to treat. Briefly, the problems include high radio-chemo resistance, aggressive nature of the tumor, presence of blood-brain barrier which prevents the accumulation of adequate concentration of drugs in tumor site and glioma stem cells that are introduced as the main cause of tumor recurrence.
