GBM affects about 10,000 people in the U.S. each year.

And five years ago,

The first cancer that we have focused on is the deadly brain cancer, GBM.

Based on this trial, in April of this year, the FDA approved Tumor Treating Fields for the treatment of patients with recurrent GBM.

Osteoblastoma is present in the posterior area of the lumbar.

Novocure conducted its first phase three randomized trial in patients with recurrent GBM.

And the typical patient with optimal therapy survives just a little over a year, and only about seven months from the time that the cancer is first treated and then comes back and starts growing again.

Pain is a positive test.

And now, boom, the tumor labels itself and it gets fluorescent.

Now you do.

It was a rare gem a brain tumor, hemangioblastoma the gift that keeps on giving.

So here is a nine year old boxer named Milo, who had a very aggressive tumor called a malignant neurofibroma growing on his shoulder.

He has extensive experience in tumor removal.

Pain or paresthesia is a positive test.

Memory Game

Nervousness

That's very unnerving.

Idiot!

Phosphine gas.

It's a neurotoxin.

And so does the face of 10 year old Derek, who I photographed moving skeleton like, through his home in California, as he battled neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer.

GLaDOS You know what doesn't rhyme with compliance?

Insecure. Neurotic.

Are you some kind of neurologist?

And what I'm talking about are nerves.

There are four types of tissues found in the human body connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial.

Hey. You really got a bad case of the nerves there, man.

It's like the water of the stream it never sits still.

I'm a neuroscientist.

It shows you these cells that process information.

Trigeminal headache? What? Trigeminal headache.

Your nerves, responsive.

Tonic for the nerves

What have you done to me? It has a hybrid nervous system.

OMGGGGG FlNALLY... so much more to come, virtual reality, neural manipulation, visual dream emulation... neural coding, 'writing and re writing of memories', mental illnesses. So the first thing that you'll notice is that people have really strong opinions about this kind of work.

Why would you want to even think?

You heard about neuromodulators earlier.

And that's shown here in the the very light blue.

These are support cells astrocytes glia.

No expensive staff time required.

We call this the Human Connectome.

Has he loosened the periodontal ligament yet?

Neurolytic restraints.

It's got your nerves shot.

That was the neurologist.
