Brain tumor susceptibility: the role of genetic factors and uses of mouse models to unravel risk.

Abstract excerpt

Brain tumors are relatively rare but deadly cancers, and present challenges in the determination of risk factors in the population. These tumors are inherently difficult to cure because of their protected location in the brain, with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy options carrying potentially lasting morbidity for patients and incomplete cure of the tumor.
