Serial injections of oncolytic virus therapy shows promise in patients with glioblastoma, opening the door to longitudinal study designs that could yield rich insights. News and Views from John D. Christie & E. Antonio Chiocca BrighamWomens harvardmed
The 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma , a highly invasive brain cancer, is less than 10%. Upon initial diagnosis, treatment consists of neurosurgical resection followed first by chemoradiation and then by adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy, which can also be aided by tumor-treating fields
. The presence of a mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase gene and/or of a hypermethylated promoter for methylguanine methyltransferase portend improved responses to therapy and improved survival, but even these favorable biological features do not forestall the inevitable neoplastic recurrence. Tumors without these favorable characteristics inevitably recur within 6–9 months
