Photodynamic therapy (PDT), which involves administering a drug that kills cancer cells when exposed to light, already is available.

Carcinoid Tumors - Carcinoid Syndrome - Symptoms, Signs, Diagnosis & Treatment

The scientists describe successful tests in laboratory mice of one compound they synthesized that not only killed melanoma cells, but also stopped them from metastasizing by blocking a key signal inside the tumor cells.

About Brain Tumor
Brain tumors are the abnormal growth of brain cells that may be benign or metastatic. Brain tumors account for about 2.4% of all the tumor diagnosesandare most challenging due to their critically delicate location.
