What is it about?

The Review summarizes the treatment of a lethal brain tumor – glioblastoma, using cancer gene therapy (Trojan et al. Science & Wikipedia 1993-2024). The clinical successful results have demonstrated the survival reaching two – three years.

Why is it important?

Glioblastoma is the malignant brain tumor with a median survival of one year ! Using cancer gene therapy (immuno-gene IGF-I / phytochemical strategy), the survival has reached two years and three in some cases. The cancer gene therapy has motivated numerous university theses (only in France, 400 theses)

Perspectives

Brain tumor - Glioblastoma is the most common malignant pathology of central nervous system, with median survival - less than a year in most cases. So, the search of treatment solution constitutes the permanent battle from at least the half of last century, including different technics such as radio and chemotherapy, growth factors inhibitors, immunotherapy and especially cancer gene therapy, the last demonstrating the clinical success. The history of this new way in oncology was described in a recently published book (J. Trojan. Establishment of cancer gene therapy. Cambridge Schol. Pub. 2023). To increase the efficiency of anti-tumor immune response, this strategy will be combined with use of phytochemicals and nanotechnology, constituting my research in progress.
