Glioblastoma—more questions than answers?

Glioblastoma multiforme (GMB) is a devastating neoplasm that nearly always culminates in death within 1–2 years of diagnosis. Despite decades of intensive clinical and laboratory research, progress has been slow, partly because of limited drug delivery and tumor heterogeneity. David Reardon describes an innovative chemoradiation approach that has improved overall survival for newly diagnosed GBM patients, and details a number of promising therapeutic strategies under evaluation.
