Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fast-growing, highly infiltrative, and hypoxic tumor that is resistant to conventional treatment owing to these biological characteristics. A key problem in the treatment of GBM is the radiation tolerance of the normal brain tissue surrounding the tumor. However, recent ...

A glioma is a tumor of the glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas can range from benign and slow-growing to the most aggressive and malignant brain tumors. Glioma types include astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, ependymoma, and glioblastoma. Gliomas may be low-grade or high-grade based...
