How can RNA be used to treat brain cancer and how
effective are they?

• RNA can be used for brain tumor treatment by
  targeting and blocking tumor cells. This can be
  done by injecting RNA into the brain or by using
  viruses to deliver RNA to the tumor cells. By
  blocking the tumor cells, RNA can help to shrink
  the tumor and stop its growth. Additionally, it
  can help to kill the tumor cells and prevent them
  from spreading to other parts of the brain.
• RNA can also be used to activate the immune
  system and help it fight against the cancer
  cells. This is done by targeting molecules in the
  tumor and stimulating an immune response.
  Basically, RNA treatments are much more targeted
  and can specifically kill tumor cells while
  sparing healthy cells.
• There are a few different types of RNA treatments
  that are being studied for brain cancer.
• Antisense Oligonucleotides (ASO) ASOs are small
  pieces of RNA that bind to a specific gene and
  prevent it from being expressed.
•  Small Interfering RNA (siRNA) SiRNAs also bind
  to specific genes, but instead of preventing gene
  expression, they cause the gene to be destroyed.
• Both ASOs and siRNAs have shown promise in early
  clinical trials for brain cancer. In one study,
  patients treated with ASOs had a median overall
  survival of 21 months, compared to 14 months for
  patients treated with standard chemotherapy.
  Patients treated with siRNAs had a median overall
  survival of 25 months, compared to 16 months for
  patients treated with standard chemotherapy.
• Overall, RNA treatments appear to be more
  effective than standard chemotherapy for treating
  brain cancer. However, more research is needed
  before these treatments can be approved for use
  in the clinic.

• What are the side effects of RNA treatment?
• RNA treatment is a relatively new cancer
  treatment option that is still being studied.
  While there are many potential benefits to this
  type of treatment, there are also some side
  effects that have been reported. Some of the most
  common side effects include
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• There have also been reports of more serious side
  effects such as
• Liver damage 
• Kidney failure
