The research of Hugo Guerrero Cazares, M.D., Ph.D., within Mayo Clinic's Department of Neurosurgery, is focused on the study of brain tumors and the interaction brain tumors have with neurogenesis.
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive tumor in the brain. Among GBMs, those that are located near the neurogenic areas of the brain have the worst prognosis. Researchers in Dr. Guerrero Cazares' Neurogenesis and Brain Tumors Laboratory seek to understand the mechanisms behind the poor prognosis for GBMs in these neurogenic areas.
Dr. Guerrero Cazares' research is funded by the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Guerrero Cazares' research aims to increase the understanding of brain tumor invasion and malignancy. The ultimate goal of his work is to translate newly generated knowledge into novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with brain tumors.
