Researchers may have found a new way to weaken glioblastoma’s defenses against treatment. Blocking a protein called SET prevented tumors from forming in preclinical models, while targeting related proteins made cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation. The strategy works by restoring activity of PP2A, an enzyme that glioblastoma cells appear to suppress. Human testing will be needed to determine whether the approach is safe and effective.

Intraoperative #radiationTherapy (IORT) is radiation therapy that is administered during surgery directly in the operating room (hence intraoperative). Usually #therapeutic levels of radiation are delivered to the #tumorBed while the area is exposed during #surgery. IORT is typically a component in the multidisciplinary treatment of locally advanced and recurrent #cancer, in combination with external beam radiation, surgery, and #chemotherapy. As a growing trend in recent years.
