Glioblastoma: The Current State of Biology and Therapeutic Strategies.

Over the past two decades, there have been advances in surgical technologies and chemoradiation strategies for glioblastoma, yet durable remissions are rarely seen. As the biological challenges and genetic basis of glioblastoma have become more understood, new therapeutic strategies may lead to more durable clinical responses and long-term remissions. We believe specialized academic centers that form meaningful corporate partnerships to complement basic science infrastructure and use adaptive clinical trial designs will achieve more rapid translation of innovative approaches to glioblastoma. Here we outline the core biological challenges to be overcome in the management of glioblastoma. ©2022 American Association for Cancer Research.
