I am joined in this podcast by Christine Miskelly to discuss her experience of witnessing how a brain tumour manifested in her husband Ivor. Christine narrated the subtle symptoms that Ivor first manifested, such as poor planning, social withdrawal, excessive slowness, impassivity and easy distractibility. We also discussed how the brain tumour altered Ivor's personality, particularly reducing his empathy, and how it impacted on their relationship. The podcast also explores the shock of getting a brain tumour diagnosis for Ivor, but also how this brought them together to face the challenges ahead. We also discussed the brain biopsy and the treatment plan which included surgery and radiotherapy. Our conversation also explored Ivor's sad progression, his post-treatment initial improvement before the subsequent progression as he developed seizures, and as his scan showed further tumour growth. Christine explored the emotional turmoil she went through this period, and how family, friends, and the kindness of strangers helped her to cope. Her perspectives also included how the whole experience included finding beauty and love. Other themes we covered were Ivor's advance directive, his terminal decline in a care home, and the aftermath of his death. Christine did her first degree in Psychology at the University of Durham back in the 1970s, and the bulk of her career was spent teaching Psychology at A-level. In more recent years, she studied Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology with the Alef Trust. She said supporting students through this period of their lives has been one of her great joys.

In this podcast I explore the diverse perspectives of brain tumours, from their pathology and clinical manifestations to their complications and management. The podcast discusses the common primary brain tumours, particularly highlighting the usually benign meningioma, and the typically aggressive glioblastoma. I illustrate these themes with such graphic illness memoirs as The Iceberg by Marion Coutts, All in My Head by Jessica Norris, and Difficult Gifts by Courtney Burnett. I also discussed secondary brain tumours using the illustrative memoir of Barbara Lipska titled The Neuroscientist Who Lost Her Mind. These memoirs helped to demonstrate the sinister and the subtle symptoms of brain tumours, their investigations, and their treatments – chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. This theme also explored the risk factors for brain tumours, and their investigational treatments. I also explored the fascinating history of brain tumour surgery which chronicled the contributions of such pioneering neurosurgeons as William McEwan, Rickman Godlee and Victor Horsley, and I cited such accounts as that of Andrew Wickens titled A History of the Brain, and that of Michael Aminoff titled Victor Horsley.

From the elusive neuroendocrine tumours like Rathke's Cleft Cysts and pituitary gland tumours to the broader impacts these conditions have on daily life, we explore it all. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of the body's inner workings, discuss the latest medical research, and hear firsthand accounts from those on the front lines of their own medical journeys. Whether you're a medical professional, a patient, or simply curious about the oddities of human biology, The Mutation Station offers insights and inspiration for everyone. Tune in to discover more about the mysteries of the human body and the resilience of the human spirit.

Astrocytes are cells in the central nervous system crucial for supporting neurones and their function. A glioblastoma is a dangerous, rapidly growing type of brain tumour. Guess how they are linked.  

Have you ever heard of a genetic condition called neurofibromatosis, also known as NF?It's one of the most common genetic disorders, affecting about 1 in 3000 people globally. NF causes different types of tumours to form in various parts of the body. Because so little is known about the condition, it's often misdiagnosed, or not diagnosed at all. UHN is home to the Elisabeth Raab Neurofibromatosis Clinic, the only adult NF clinic in Canada. We discuss the clinic and the exciting research happening in the field of NF. But, for many people living with the condition, the stigma is often as challenging as the illness. Featuring: Dr. Suganth Suppiah – Surgeon-scientist at UHN's Krembil Brain Institute and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto. Dr. Suppiah also leads the nerve surgery program at the Elisabeth Raab Neurofibromatosis Clinic, Canada's only adult NF clinic, based at UHN.Dr. Ryan Thomas – Family physician and Clinical Associate who works with patients at the Elisabeth Raab Neurofibromatosis Clinic.

Bryan Choi - Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School and Associate Director of the Centre for Brain Tumour Immunology and Immunotherapy at Mass General (Massachusetts General Hospital)

Andy Tudor thought be might be getting early onset dementia or having a stroke when he was eventually admitted to hospital. When he was told he had a huge 7cm tumour in his brain it was almost a relief, he tells Elizabeth and Julia in this episode released during Brain Tumour awareness month. Seven years ago Andy had life-saving neurosurgery to remove the growth. He is beating the statistics which show just 12% of adults diagnosed with a brain tumour survive after five years. Andy has since gone on to have an active role in raising awareness of brain tumours through volunteering and as the co-host of Let's Talk about Brain Tumours - a podcast run by the Brain Tumour Charity. Andy tells Elizabeth and Julia how his life feels more fulfilling now than before his brain injury but the worry of regrowth is always there and two years ago he had to have radiation when some was found on a routine scan. Andy talks about some of the symptoms he experienced and reveals some of his strategies for dealing with fatigue, one of which includes a can of baked beans! Listen to find out more. In this episode you will learn: Some of the key symptoms of a brain tumour in adults and children How humour can help in tough times Finding new purpose in life after brain injury Ways to deal with the process of grieving your old self and embracing new after brain trauma.

Many of the guests on this podcast have emphasized the importance of awareness. Awareness of how we think can help improve how we think. Awareness of implicit bias can improve how we implement our true values. Awareness of emotions can improve how we react or don't react to different situations. I find awareness difficult to cultivate, and I have always admired Dr. Earl Glusac's ability to be present, calm, and steady. Dr. Glusac has been meditating regularly since 2005 (as well as when he was younger), and he shares his view on meditation as well as tips for a productive career in academic medicine. Dr. Earl J. Glusac, MD is a distinguished dermatopathologist and esteemed professor at Yale University School of Medicine. He has actively shaped the field through his roles on various medical board. He has served the American Boards of Pathology and Dermatology and the editorial boards of the Journal of Cutaneous Pathology and the American Journal of Dermatopathology; he was program director and president of the American Society of Dermatopathology, and he is an author for the World Health Organization's Classification of Tumours of the Skin. He attended Michigan State University for his medical degree, spent time in California for his residency training as well as dermatopathology fellowship, and has spent the majority of his dermatopathology career at Yale. Much of his research relates to the problem of overdiagnosis, especially as related to benign lesions that mimic malignant melanoma.

Neuroendocrine Tumours could be described as an impassable obstacle, more complicated the more you research. That's where Michael and Josh come in, and this week, explore Grade 3 metastatic neuroendocrine tumours. Michael provides a brilliant overview of this well-differentiated cohort and the lack of efficacy platinum chemotherapies have, while Josh discusses CAPTEM (temozolomide and capecitabine) through a systematic review. Interestingly many of the current data is retrospectively collected, highlighting how challenging it is to collect enough patients to pursue meaningful research.Note- there is a quote from Lance Armstrong, who was stripped of his titles due to illegal doping (which we do not endorse); he did start the Livestrong Foundation to support those affected by cancer.Links to studies discussed in this episode (subscription may be required):1.

This week we've found ourselves attracted by the topic of magnetism; it's what makes it possible to generate and distribute electricity to our homes, or send messages and radio broadcasts over the airwaves; it underpins our ability to see inside the body with technologies like MRI scanners, and thanks to the fact that there's a massive magnetic field surrounding our planet, much of the radiation onslaught from space that would otherwise hit us is fended off, keeping the Earth habitable. That planetary magnetic field also provides us and animals with a way to navigate, and there are even... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

Cold exposure in mice activates brown fat to deny tumours glucose, and the future of extreme heatwaves. 00:45 How cold temperatures could starve tumoursA team of researchers have found that exposing mice to the cold could starve tumour cells of the blood glucose they need to thrive. They showed that the cold temperatures deprived the tumours of fuel by activating brown fat – a tissue that burns through glucose to keep body temperature up. The team also showed preliminary evidence of the effect occurring in one person with cancer, but say that more research is needed before this method can be considered for clinical use.Research article: Seki et al.08:59 Research HighlightsEvidence of the world's southernmost human outpost from before the Industrial Revolution, and how jumping up and down lets canoes surf their own waves.Research Highlight: Bones and weapons show just how far south pre-industrial humans gotResearch Highlight: How jumping up and down in a canoe propels it forwards11:24 The future of extreme heatwavesClimate scientists have long warned that extreme heat and extreme heatwaves will become more frequent as a result of climate change.
