CNIO researchers propose a new treatment for brain metastasis

CNIO researchers have discovered that cancer perverts certain brain cells, the astrocytes, and causes them to produce a protein that works in favour of the tumour. A drug, silibinin, inhibits this protein, and could be used to help treat brain…
