Dr. John Brookvar and Dr. Howard Riina co-wrote a breakthrough protocol that may one day extend the lives of people with terminal brain cancer.
It's providing a ray of hope to such patients‚ as generally‚ fewer than five percent of them survive for longer than two years.
Now‚ the doctors are conducting the first phase of an experimental procedure at the NY Presbyterian Hospital.
Their process‚ called "super selective intra-arterial cerebral infusion" involves directing a micro-catheter through the body's arterial system and into the brain‚ using state-of-the-art imaging technology.
When they arrive at the tumor‚ they inject a chemotherapy drug named Avastin‚ directly into the blood vessels that feed the tumor.
The process is still in its experimental stage‚ so there are risks involved‚ but it is more effective than traditional chemotherapy‚ as fifty times more of the drug gets to where it needs to go‚.
There are no side effects‚ such as blood clots‚ diarrhea or nausea.
A new crew‚ bound for the International Space Station‚ bid farewell to their families as they left Russia's main space institute for Kazakhstan.
The cosmonauts will travel on the Soyuz capsule‚ which will lift off from the Baikonur launch pad in Kazakhstan.
Oleg Kotov of Russia‚ who is travelling to the International Space Station for the second time‚ said that he's excited‚ and is looking forward to surpassing expectations by performing at the highest possible level without suffering any setbacks.
Soichi Noguchi‚ the second Japanese astronaut to climb aboard a Soyuz capsule‚ is aiming to become the first astronaut to make "space sushi."
The two will be joined by American Timothy Creamer.
The backup crew includes Russians Anton Shkaplerov‚ American Douglas H. Wheelock and Japan's Satoshi Furukawa.
Greenpeace activists scaled the side of Rome's historic Colosseum and hung a banner demanding that world leaders reach a historic‚ and meaningful‚ agreement to combat climate change while they are in Copenhagen‚ so that the planet can avoid the disastrous consequences of inaction.
The world needs to take aggressive action to avoid sea level increases and extreme weather conditions‚ and the Copenhagen Summit is a promising step in the right direction.
Negotiators from around 200 nations will discuss ways in which to broaden the fight against climate change‚ by expanding or replacing the Kyoto Protocol.
But a rift between rich and poor nations continues to cloud negotiations over finances and emission cuts.
Many developing nations are demanding that the recession-hit rich countries make deeper cuts in emissions.
