November 15, 2023 – Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center and Columbia University received a five-year, $10.6 million U54 center grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to further study combining the molecular analysis of glioblastoma with MRI.
Glioblastoma is a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor that begins as a growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord. As it grows, it can invade and destroy healthy tissue. There is no cure, but treatments may slow the cancer’s growth and reduce symptoms.
Glioblastoma is a diverse cancer, which means that biopsies from different regions of each patient’s tumor can represent widely different tumor biology. Treatments that work for one region of the tumor may not work for others.

AMA URGES INSURANCE COVERAGE PARITY FOR EMERGING TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR OBESITY
November 14, 2023 – As a new generation of weight-loss medications has created additional options to treat obesity, insurance coverage barriers limit broad accessibility of these medications. In response, physicians and medical students voted to adopt policy for the American Medical Association (AMA) supporting health insurance coverage parity for evidence-based treatment of obesity, including FDA-approved medications without exclusions or additional carve-outs.
The AMA regards obesity as a disease that poses a major health concern in the United States. When obesity is left untreated it can put patients at risk for serious health consequences.
The costs for the patient and broader health care system associated with obesity, including the treatment of weight-related conditions and potential complications, can be substantial. It is crucial to recognize the urgency of addressing this disease comprehensively and proactively through a range of suitable treatments.
