New Technique Predicts Response of Brain Tumors to Chemoradiation
AUSTIN, Texas – A team studying malignant brain tumors has developed a new technique for predicting how individual patients will respond to chemoradiation, a major step forward in efforts to personalize cancer treatment.
Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin’s Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have merged various quantitative imaging measurements with computational simulations to create an accurate model for calculating the progression of high-grade glioma.
High-grade gliomas are the most common cancerous primary brain tumors found in adults. Current treatments involve surgical resection of the tumor followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Despite this aggressive treatment, prognosis for patients who undergo this approach is generally poor. The growth and behavior of
Superfund sites could reduce the life expectancy for people living in nearby communities by as much as 1.2 years, according to a new study.
In the first nationwide study of its kind, researchers used advanced statistical modeling techniques at the census tract level to examine the impact of contaminated areas in unprecedented detail.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a Superfund site refers to thousands of sites that exist “nationally due to hazardous waste being dumped, left out in the open, or otherwise improperly managed.” This includes manufacturing facilities, processing plants, landfills, and mining sites.
These places tend to negatively affect nearby air, water, and soil quality, meaning those living in close proximity are potentially exposed to toxic chemicals through dermal contact, ingestion, and inhalation.

Martin Burtscher, a professor in the Department of Computer Science at Texas State University, has never attempted to model an inductively coupled plasma torch using predictive science before. That s what makes the current research project he s involved in so exciting.
