ST-11: A New Brain-Penetrant Microtubule-Destabilizing Agent with Therapeutic Potential for Glioblastoma Multiforme.
Glioblastoma multiforme is a devastating and intractable type of cancer. Current antineoplastic drugs do not improve the median survival of patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme beyond 14 to 15 months, in part because the blood-brain barrier is generally impermeable to many therapeutic agents. Drugs that target microtubules (MT) have shown remarkable efficacy in a variety of cancers, ...
متن کاملRadiothermotherapy for glioblastoma multiforme: A preliminary study
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly radioresistant cancer with low survival rate. Current therapy approaches have failed to treat GBM. The aim of this study was to assess how GBM tumors respond to combination of hyperthermia and radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: In this study, 38 GBM patients were included. 19 patients were treated ...
متن کاملGlioblastoma Multiforme: Novel Therapeutic Approaches
The current therapy for glioblastoma multiforme involves total surgical resection followed by combination of radiation therapy and temozolomide. Unfortunately, the efficacy for such current therapy is limited, and newer approaches are sorely needed to treat this deadly disease. We have recently described the isolation of bacterial proteins and peptides with anticancer activity. In phase I human...
متن کاملCurrent Therapeutic Alternatives and New Perspectives in Glioblastoma Multiforme.
BACKGROUND In the last two decades, there have been significant technological advances in the early detection of brain tumors. However, no notable improvements have been observed in the treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the most common brain neoplasm coupled with the worst prognosis. GBM is characterized by an extensive resistance to a broad spectrum of anti-tumor drugs. This property...
متن کاملGlioblastoma Multiforme: A Single Hospital Experience
Background & Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the highest grade glioma (grade IV), is the most malignant form of astrocytoma in adults. This study aimed at evaluating the relationship between demographic, clinical and medical factors with GBM outcome. Methods & Materials/Patients: Through a cross-sectional design, 58 patients with newly diagnosed GBM were studied from 1999 to 2015 in Guil...
