Using machine learning and a large volume of data on genes and existing drugs, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a combination of statins and phenothiazines that is particularly promising in the treatment of the aggressive form of neuroblastoma. The results from experimental trials showed slowing of tumour growth and higher survival rates. The childhood cancer, neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a tumor disease that primarily affects young children. The survival rate is the lowest of all childhood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University has discovered that a specific gene is associated with a poorer prognosis. The study is published in the journal Science Advances. Every year, about twenty children in Sweden are diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a ca
