Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumors (ATRT) are rare, fast-growing brain tumors that primarily affect young children. These tumors are linked to a genetic mutation in the SMARCB1 gene, and treatment often requires a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Researchers at the University of Michigan are working to improve understanding and therapies for ATRT, with support from organizations like CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, which helps fund life-saving treatments—read the full article now to learn more about the latest developments in ATRT research.
