Brain cancer in infants is biologically distinct from other childhood brain tumours and could be successfully treated with targeted drugs, a new study has shown.

Nine world-leading medical imaging centres from across the UK will come together to form an integrated network for standardising and validating the use of cutting-edge imaging techniques in cancer treatment.
