RESEARCH UPDATES

Raising Gliomatosis Cerebri Awareness Through Research

Support research to identify effective treatment options and find a cure for Gliomatosis Cerebri is one of the main objectives of the GC Global Community. We also aim for collaboration with physicians and researchers to support international Gliomatosis Cerebri conferences to raise awareness and advance research. Read about updates on ongoing research and projects from partners we help fund or collaborate with.

GC Research Funded by Us

Towards a Multimodal Atlas of Glioma Diffuseness

Jeffrey P. Greenfield, MD, PhD | Weill Cornell Medicine | New York, USA

This groundbreaking project seeks to establish the first-ever standardized scoring system for tumor diffusiveness, a vital tool that will unlock critical insights into cancer biology. This tool will help answer key questions: Was GC a truly distinct disease, or one extreme of a broader spectrum? What biological programs drive tumors to spread? Most importantly, how can this knowledge inform treatment and improve patient outcomes?

Systemic and Intratumoral Immune Profiling

Maria Vinci, PHD | Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù | Rome, Italy

The study aims to generate a comprehensive resource of the GC patients’ immune system, analysing peripheral blood and matched tumour samples. This approach will reveal how the disease affects systemic immunity and how immune-tumour cell interactions shape the tumour microenvironment.

Identifying and Targeting a Dominant Myeloid—Tumor Axis in Pediatric Gliomatosis Cerebri

Dannis van Vuorden, MD, PhD | Marietta E.G. Kranendonk, MD, PhD Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology | Netherlands

The overall aim of the research is to identify the dominant myeloid—tumor signaling pathway driving the diffuse infiltrative pattern of gliomatosis cerebri (GC) and to validate its therapeutic blockade, with brain delivery achieved through focused ultrasound-mediated blood—brain barrier opening (FUS-BBBO).
