THREE NEW PAPERS FROM SOUWEIDANE TEAM EXPAND PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR CANON

Dr. Mark Souweidane and colleagues from the Weill Cornell Medicine Children’s Brain Tumor Project have published three new academic articles on findings from their pediatric neuro-oncology research. Together with previously published papers that resulted from Dr. Souweidane’s Phase I clinical trial testing convection-enhanced delivery (CED) for brainstem gliomas, these new papers significantly expand scientific knowledge in the field.

• “B7–H3 As a Prognostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors”
  Published in the February 2020 issue of Translational Oncology
• “Deformational Changes After Convection-Enhanced Delivery in the Pediatric Brainstem”
  Published in the January 2020 Issue of Neurosurgical Focus (Pediatric Brain Tumor: Evolving Treatment Strategies)
• “The Intersect of Neurosurgery with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma” 
  Published in the December 2019 issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery Pediatrics
