Nanoparticle treatment combined with radiation therapy significantly improves glioblastoma survival in mice

Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive brain tumor that mainly affects adults. Approximately 30,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with GBM every year and patients have a 5-year survival rate of 7%. Current treatments include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide. Unfortunately, none of these methods can cure GBM.
