Angela Mastronuzzi: We dedicate May to brain tumor education

Angela Mastronuzzi shared on LinkedIn:

“Today begins Brain Tumor Awareness Month.

We dedicate May to brain tumor education, raising awareness and honoring those patients affected.
In 70% of pediatric cases the patients are healed, but there are pathologies that we are still unable to cure and recurrent tumors are not very treatable.

This is why there is a need for innovative therapies: a new clinical trial is now open on CAR T cells directed against GD2. Contact information in the link.

Special thank you to Banca Ifis for their support of this trial.”      .
