• Method Developed to Identify Best Treatment Combinations for Glioblastoma Based on Unique Cellular Targets

  Researchers have developed a new computational approach that uncovers possible drugs for specific cellular targets for treating glioblastoma, a lethal brain tumor. This approach enabled them to predict more effective treatment combinations to fight the disease on an individualized basis. This laboratory and computational research effort was led by scientists at Georgetown Lombardi.

• Biomarkers Found That Could Be Drug Targets Against a Deadly Form of Brain Cancer

  WASHINGTON (June 22, 2022) — Biomarkers that could be targets for novel drugs to treat glioblastoma brain tumors have been identified by investigators at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, providing hope for a cancer that is highly lethal. Currently, the drug most often used to treat glioblastoma, temozolomide, is uniquely able to cross the blood/brain […]
