Advancing Treatments for Brain Tumors in Young People

Brain tumors in adolescents and young adults can be especially challenging to treat due to their unique biology. Yale School of Medicine researchers are studying how genetic mutations affect the way these tumors repair DNA, helping identify new opportunities for targeted therapies. Their work with PARP inhibitors shows promise in making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatment and improving outcomes. Ongoing clinical trials are helping translate these discoveries into new options for patients. Learn more about this research in the video above.
