Abstract

A patent application titled "Methods Of Treating Brain Cancer" was published online by inventors from Australia. The application highlights the challenges in treating brain tumors, particularly glioblastomas, which are aggressive and deadly. The inventors propose a composition involving 5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, and a cyclodextrin compound for the treatment and prevention of brain and central nervous system cancers, aiming to improve drug delivery and reduce side effects. This development addresses the urgent need for effective chemotherapeutic agents for brain cancer patients, as current treatments have not significantly improved survival rates.
