Scientist’s at the University of Nottingham have uncovered vital new clues into brain tumours that affect children.
The research could save 500 children’s lives each year.
Central Nervous System Primitive Neuroectodermal tumours affect and kill more than sixty per cent of young sufferers.
But researchers have found that a genetic pathway is active when the cancer is developing.
Tumour Research Centre Doctor Hazel Rogers reckons it could mean better treatment for sufferers.
She said: "There is a lot we still don't know yet but uncovering this clue into how the brain tumour develops is a step in the right direction."
