Researchers have identified and described a network of mutated genes and gene processes that, together, contribute to fatal brain tumors.

Dr. Markus Bredel is the director of the Brain Tumor Institute Research Program at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago and co-author of two related papers in the July 15 issue of the Journal of the American Medication Association.

He said, “There is not a single gene that accounts for the development of brain tumors. It’s the concert of those genes and the interaction of those genes that ultimately determine the progression of cancer.”
