Surgery is most often the first part of the treatment plan. Aneurosurgeon, a surgeon who specializes in operating on the brain, tries to remove as much of the tumor as possible. Because glioblastomas often develop in healthy brain tissue, the neurosurgeon may not be able to remove all of t...
Over the past two decades, virtually no progress has been made in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive type of brain cancer. With a 2-year survival rate typically only 8% to 12%, the standard therapeutic regimen of surgery, radiation and adjunct ...
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and deadly brain cancer. There is growing interest to develop drugs that specifically target to glioblastoma tumor-initiating cells (TICs). However, the cost-effective production of large numbers of high quality glioblastoma TICs for drug discovery with current cell ...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults with the highest mortality rate [1]. Although comprehensive treatment regimens such as surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy are used in the clinic, tumor recurrence remains a problem as it often results in a...
showed no survival benefit in clinical trials [26]. Therefore, patients treated for recurrent GBM have significantly lower survival rates as the tumour itself is seeded from treatment-resistant cells, often growing, and invading at a faster rate into the already damaged surrounding brain tissue [8...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Due to frequent dysfunctions of tumor suppressors and oncogenes, diffusive growth and resistance to standard therapies, the median survival is approximately 14 months and the treatment remains mainly palliative5,6,7. Histopatholo...
