Treatment of malignant glioma: a problem beyond the margins of resection

Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology
A Giese, M Westphal

Abstract

The treatment of malignant glioma remains problematic. Surgical removal followed by external beam irradiation represents a standard treatment that has demonstrated a prolonged time to progression and survival. However, the capacity to locally invade normal brain invariably leads to formation of a recurrent tumor most often immediately adjacent to the site of resection. This clinical everyday experience prompts the hypothesis that improved local control of the tumor may translate into a delayed time to progression and possibly survival, specifically because systemic chemotherapy for most of these tumors has failed to significantly improve survival. Local treatment strategies including chemotherapy, gene therapy, and immunotherapy are rapidly developing and progressing to clinical trials. Several theoretical considerations suggest that these approaches may be promising in the treatment of brain tumors.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
