Helena Carén from SCC studies cancer stem cells in order to understand why malignant glioma is so difficult to treat. The aim is to develop a better treatment with less side effects. She is one of the researchers in Gothenburg who get to share 15 million SEK in research funds from Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund.

A major problem with brain tumors is the risk of relapse, which is often difficult to remedy. To find a more effective treatment, Helena Carén at the Sahlgrenska Cancer Center in Gothenburg seeks to understand the behavior of cancer stem cells in malignant gliomas, central nervous system tumors that afflict a few children every year.
