Meet Prof. Rachel Grossman, an ICRF-funded researcher working to change how we monitor brain tumors.

Glioblastoma is one of the hardest cancers to treat, in part because the blood-brain barrier makes it difficult to detect tumor signals through a blood test.

Prof. Grossman and her team are exploring how MRI-guided focused ultrasound could temporarily open this barrier, creating a “window into the brain” that may allow doctors to monitor tumors through blood samples instead of surgery.

Research like this starts with bold ideas in the lab. With ICRF funding, those ideas can move closer to the patients who need them.

Did you know appendix cancer is often discovered unexpectedly during surgery for suspected appendicitis?

August is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on this rare disease and the research needed to better understand it, detect it earlier, and develop more personalized treatments.

ICRF leads the way in research into rare cancers, as well as gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers, tumor metastasis, and other key biological mechanisms relevant to appendix cancer. Every discovery propels us toward better outcomes for patients facing all types of cancer.

ICRF-funded researcher Prof. Neta Erez and her team recently published in the journal Cancer Research. Their study uncovered new insights into how high-grade serous ovarian cancer spreads and how the tumor environment enables disease progression. This work advances our understanding of the processes behind metastasis and highlights the potential for new therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.
