"Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, accounting for more than half of the 18,000 primary malignant brain tumors diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. • Prolonged cell phone use may damage sperm in male users, suggests a study by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio. The discovery was made during an ongoing study of 51,000 male health professionals in the United States." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The study, conducted by numerous researchers from many universities, found firm corollary evidence that using a cell phone causes the risk of getting a brain tumor called a glioma to rise by 40 to 27024 percent on the side of the head preferred for using the phone. (Those who used modern cellular phones for more than 2,000 hours in their lifetime had the highest risk increase. Surprisingly, the risk was highest among people under the age of 20.) This is the same type of brain tumor doctors discovered in Ted Kennedy's head." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Other studies have found associations between meat intake and the risk of bladder, breast, cervical, endometrial, esophageal, glioma, kidney, liver, lung, mouth, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers. On the other hand, there are plenty of studies that point to the cancer-preventing effects of a fruit and vegetable diet, including recent studies published in the American Journal of Epidemiology 2007 Jul 15;166(2):170-80.

"E to enhance the cytotoxic effects of adriamycin in human prostate cancer, glioma, and HeLa cells; enhance cisplatin, tamoxifen, and decarbazine on human melanoma and parotid acinar carcinoma cells; and promote doxorubicin to inhibit murine leukemia cell lines [118]. Data from large-scale trials with antioxidants are not available, although some smaller studies provide evidence that antioxidant supplementation can increase the efficacy of standard chemotherapies in humans." - Ann M.

"When glioma (i.e., brain cancer) cells were incubated for just four hours with small amounts of NDGA, the chemical inhibited DNA synthesis. (Such inhibition can be a sign of anticancer effects.) "Prolonged incubation [for 72 hours] of the rat and human glioma cells with NDGA markedly decreased cell proliferation," scientists at Rush-Presbyte-rian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago, said. The scientists concluded that NDGA was an important controller of glioma cell division (5). In 1984, the extract also killed two different strains of cancer cells in the test tube (6)." - Ralph W.

"A prospective clinical trial of patients with malignant glioma has been carried out, in which patients undergoing standard oncological treatment (neurosurgery, radiation therapy) were randomly assigned into a treatment group, receiving complementary immunotherapy with galactoside-specific mistletoe lectin, and a control group without complementary treatment.34 Nonstratified analysis of all patients did not show a significant prolongation of relapse-free interval or survival time for the treated (versus control) group." - Amarjit S. Basra, Handbook of Medicinal Plants (Get the book.) "However, stratified analysis of stage III/IV glioma patients showed a significant prolongation of relapse-free survival for treated versus control patients (17.4 versus 10.5 months), and a prolongation of overall survival for the treatment group compared to control patients (20 versus 9.9 months).

"Exposure for 24 hours at 53 pM, and 48 hours at 18 uM both produced a 50% cell kill in human glioma cells. Exposure for 4 hours produced little cytotoxicity (Floridi et al., 1990b). Similarly, rhein produced a 50% cell kill of human glioma cells at a concentration of 20 uM after 12 hours (Delpino et al, 1992). Prior to 20 hours, the effect of exposure time on cell kill is exponentially related to rhein concentration. After about 20 hours, the relationship is linear. Rhein has also shown an antitumor effect in vivo." - John Boik, Cancer & Natural Medicine: A Textbook of Basic Science and Clinical Research (Get the book.)

"Glioma cancer cells have very high PTK activity. That activity correlates with cancer growth. Several in vitro studies show that genistein inhibits the growth of glioma (Baltuch et al. 1996; Tu et al. 2000; Khoshyomn et al. 2002). Genistein also enhances the effectiveness of the chemotherapeutic drugs carmustine and camptothecin with a 40% decrease in growth and a 50% increased killing effect in some cells, according to one study (Ciesielski et al. 1999; Khoshyomn et al. 2002).

"It's also possible that the herb may be a safe, effective alternative in the treatment of melanoma (a particularly deadly form of skin cancer) and glioma (a type of brain tumor), according to studies at several U.S. universities.
