Creating a new paradigm for Brain Metastasis through the development of new personalised cancer therapeutic approaches.
High pSTAT3 in reactive astrocytes is linked to higher intracranial recurrence and shorter PFS in triple-negative #BreastCancer #BrainMetastases. STAT3 emerges as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

STAT3 expression in brain metastases from breast cancer is correlated with molecular subtype and impacts clinical outcome - PubMed
This study indicates that STAT3 expression prevails in reactive astrocytes surrounding triple-negative BrM in comparison to HER2-positive and luminal BrM, and these findings mirror those observed in…

🧠 Oct 26 is Spain’s National Day of #AcquiredBrainInjury. At #RENACER we study how brain metastasis affects memory, attention & communication.

Because cancer research is not only about prolonging life, but also preserving what makes it truly livable.

Radiation necrosis (RN) after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can mimic tumor recurrence.

A new study using computational models shows why RN grows faster & offers a growth metric to distinguish them, improving diagnosis and guiding more precise care👉
