The vast majority of all GBM recur with a median survival time of 6.2 months after the first progression [104]. There is no universally accepted salvage therapy, and treatment for recurrent GBM (rGBM) requires individualized consideration of re-operation, re-irradiation, and systemic therapy opti...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent malignant primary brain tumour in adults. GBM typically has a poor prognosis, mainly due to a lack of effective treatment options leading to tumour persistence or recurrence. We investigated the therapeutic potent
Limited therapeutic options are available for GBMs as they are often detected late, they are highly infiltrative, and they display significant inter- and intra-tumoral genetic heterogeneity (Aldape et al., 2019). Many GBM driver mutations have been identified following genome-wide sequencing. The ...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and common malignant primary brain tumor; however, treatment remains a significant challenge. This study aims to identify drug repurposing or repositioning candidates for GBM by developing an integrative rare dis
Nitrosourea (CCNU, carmustine) and carboplatin-based chemotherapy are also valid options. Lomustine has shown clinical activity as the control arm in several randomized trials.320,321 Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody to VEGF, is the most recent agent to receive U.S. Food and Drug ...
Treatment Options for Tumor Recurrence The option of repeating surgery in patients with progressive or recurrent glioblastoma remains controversial. Some retrospective studies proposed a survival benefit after reoperation78-81 taking into account age, Karnofsky (KPS) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive and malignant glioma, has a poor prognosis. Although patients with GBM are treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, GBM is highly resistant to treatment, making it difficult and expensi
Glioblastoma multiforme(GBM) is the most common and deadliest type of primary brain tumor with a prognosis of 14months after diagnosis. Current treatment forGBMpatients includes “total” tumor resection, temozolomide-based chemotherapy, radiotherapy or a combination of these options. Although, severalta...
