Brain Cancer Treatment Regimens
View detailed drug regimens for the treatment of brain cancer, including treatments such as temozolomide, carboplatin, and methotrexate.
Glioblastoma
Venous Thromboembolism or Major Bleeding Seen Frequently in Patients With Glioblastoma
Researchers sought to determine the rates of VTE and major bleeding in patients with glioblastoma.
Short Treatment Delays May Not Hamper Survival in Glioblastoma
For patients with glioblastoma, short delays in the initiation of chemoradiotherapy after surgery were not linked to worse survival — yet initiation too soon was.
Time to Radiotherapy After Glioblastoma Resection Affects Survival Outcomes
A large retrospective analysis demonstrated that a delay of 4 to 8 weeks for adjuvant radiotherapy following surgical resection of glioblastoma improved survival.
Harnessing Key Elements of the Ebola Virus in Animal Models of Glioblastoma
A glycoprotein in Ebola called the mucin-like domain may be of interest in the development of an oncolytic for brain cancer.
Maximal Resection of Glioblastomas May Up Survival
Maximal resection of contrast-enhanced tumor linked to increased overall survival across all subgroups.
Ribociclib Shown to Penetrate the Blood-Brain Barrier in Glioblastoma
A phase 0 study of ribociclib in patients with recurrent glioblastoma seeks to inform the feasibility of the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors for deadly brain tumors.
Combining CAR-T and BiTE in Models of Glioblastoma Multiforme
This study involved the engineering of CAR-T cells specific for the EGFRvIII antigen to also secrete bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs) against wild-type EGFR.
Tumor-treating Fields Useful to Improve Glioblastoma Outcomes
Adverse event rates were similar in both trial groups, though patients treated with TTFields were much more likely to have mild to moderate skin toxicity.
Drug Combination Does Not Extend Glioblastoma Survival
Lomustine plus bevacizumab may increase progression-free, but not overall, survival versus lomustine alone in progressive glioblastoma.
