Researchers make glioblastoma cells visible to attacking immune cells

Even treated with the most advanced therapies, patients with glioblastoma — an aggressive brain cancer — typically survive less than two years after diagnosis. Efforts to treat this cancer with the latest immunotherapies have been unsuccessful, likely because glioblastoma cells have few, if any, natural targets for the immune system to attack. In a cell-based […]

Patients with brain cancer may benefit from treatment to boost white blood cells

Patients with glioblastoma, a devastating brain cancer, receive treatment that frequently leads to the unfortunate side effect of low white blood cell counts that lasts six months to a year. The low numbers of white blood cells are associated with shorter survival — but the specific reason for the prolonged drop in white blood cells […]
