💡An example of the excellence behind #RENACER is Dr. Mariam Jamal-Hanjani, member of our Scientific Advisory Board who received an ERC Synergy Grant 2025 for LUMES (LUng cancer Metastasis Evolutionary Studies). Congratulations! Learn more about her career👉 www.uclh.nhs.uk/our-services...
📅Today, in #WorldHealthDay, we recognise all the actions that protect this fundamental right. At #RENACER, we contribute through research on brain metastases, helping build the knowledge that can ultimately be transformed into better #health.

📢New insight into brain metastasis research! The brain metastasis group of the cniostopcancer.bsky.social, led by Manuel Valiente, published in Cancer Research, how tumour cells may redirect brain immune cells to support cancer progression. Read the full article: doi.org/10.1158/0008...
📢The RENACER Newsletter is cooking...! These past few months have been marked by major milestones, recognitions, and events in advancing our mission to combat brain metastases. We tell you all about it in the new edition! Subscribe to discover it: renacerbrainmet.us8.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=...
💡At RENACER we are working to personalize the treatment of brain metastases, independent of the primary tumor. Our 3-years-long project called PerMEDperBRAIN was designed to this purpose. Discover our ongoing projects:https://renacerbrainmet.org/projects/
🔬 Only through research we can answer these questions, opening the door to better diagnoses, therapies and prevention. At RENACER, we have more than 20 centres where we conduct research to answer these types of questions and improve the lives of patients with brain metastases.
How signals between brain cells are integrated in disease development❓
Why only some cancer cells colonise the brain and others do not ❓
How do genetic alterations affect tumour development❓
🧠 This Brain Awareness Week, we explore three open questions about the brain and cancer, and why research is so necessary to answer them.
✏️ Brain metastasis has unique mechanisms that allow cancer cells to travel to the brain and survive there.
✏️ The disease remains a major challenge, affecting up to 30% of adult cancer patients.
✏️ Recent advances are offering new, more precise and integrated treatments.
📢The Volume II of “The Evolving Landscape of Brain Metastasis” in Trends in Cancer brings you insights on brain metastasis shaping research and treatment like these 👇
📅 This week, RENACER joined GEPAC at the VIII Spanish Cancer Summit, recognizing the vital role of the cancer advocacy movement. 💟Thank you for your essential work in supporting patients, advancing research, and strengthening collaboration in the fight against cancer.
📢 We want to thank @heraldo.es, @elperiodico.com, @infobae.bsky.social, @democrataes.bsky.social, and other media that have highlighted Volume II of Trends in Cancer, ‘The Evolving Landscape of Brain Metastasis’, by Manuel Valiente's group. Thank you for helping science reach beyond the lab!

🤝 Hope is born when committed people come together to improve lives.
Today, on #WorldCancerDay, we prove that this hope is happening. As pointed out by the brain metastasis research group led by Manuel Valiente, we are moving closer to advances that can improve patients' lives.

🧬The CNIO Biobank continues to grow as a key resource for research.
Nearly 56,000 samples from the CNIO Biobank are now part of the world’s largest network of biological resources, available to the entire scientific community.
📖New article in Trends in Cancer. Volume II of “The evolving landscape of brain metastasis” has been published—a review coordinated by Manuel Valiente, 8 years after Volume I, with contributions from 17 leading figures in the field.

📬 Our last newsletter is out
We closed 2025 with a special edition that highlights the year’s main milestones, the scientific advances driven by the network, and the objectives that will shape RENACER’s work in 2026.
🔗Read it here: mailchi.mp/d89158a1f2f5...
2025 was a year of growth and collaboration for #RENACER, with advances shared at key forums. 💡In 2026, we continue connecting research for patient benefit.
🔗 Read the highlights from our General Assembly:
Latests talks and seminars from the #RENACER team, sharing new advances in neuro-oncology:
➡️ Manuel Valiente, gave a webinar within PETRAnetwork
➡️ Mª Jesús Artiga, presented RENACER at the 20th Ibero-American Congress of Cancer Patients (GEPAC)
Last October, we held the 5th General Assembly of RENACER, a key meeting that brought together several experts to share progress and strengthen collaboration in #BrainMetastasis.
📰 Read here IM Médico's summary and key insights:
#RENACER unites 5 multidisciplinary groups across Spain to advance research and improve care in #BrainMetastasis. You can meet them all on our website: renacerbrainmet.org/members-coor...
High pSTAT3 in reactive astrocytes is linked to higher intracranial recurrence and shorter PFS in triple-negative #BreastCancer #BrainMetastases. STAT3 emerges as a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

Manuel Valiente shared with the researchers at the CNIO the team studies about the tumour microenvironment to challenge #BrainMetastasis in mice and humans. Understanding these interactions helps turn lab discoveries into patient benefit. #ShareToAdvance
🧠 Oct 26 is Spain’s National Day of #AcquiredBrainInjury. At #RENACER we study how brain metastasis affects memory, attention & communication.
Because cancer research is not only about prolonging life, but also preserving what makes it truly livable.
Everything is ready for the 5th RENACER General Assembly at the Ramón Areces Foundation! We look forward to welcoming clinicians, researchers, patient representatives, and collaborators to share the latest advances in brain metastases.
Radiation necrosis (RN) after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can mimic tumor recurrence.
A new study using computational models shows why RN grows faster & offers a growth metric to distinguish them, improving diagnosis and guiding more precise care👉
At #RENACER we thank donors and families: your generosity makes research possible, helps us understand #BrainMetastasis and paves the way for better diagnosis and treatment.
🙏 Thank you for turning your generosity into science and a better future.
#EuropeanDonationDay
🔬Last September 24th was #WorldCancerResearchDay and we wanted to honor the power of research to transform cancer care.
At #RENACER, we promote research as it is the basis for developing earlier diagnoses, personalising treatments and bringing hope to patients with brain metastases.
