Abstract
There are several types of brain tumors but glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the highly malignant tumors. A primary concern with GBM is that the treatment is inadequate. Even after giving many multi-stacked combinations of therapies to patients, inclusive of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, the median survival rate remains poor. Due to its heterogeneous nature, the use of selective therapy for specific targeting of tumor cells is of particular importance. Although many treatment alternatives which include surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are available, the prognosis of the disease is very poor. Combination therapy is becoming the foundation of modern antitumor therapy and it is continuously evolving and developing innovative drug regimens as evidenced by ongoing preclinical and clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the current treatment options and emerging therapeutic approaches for the treatment of GBM. The prospects for alternative glioblastoma therapy are also discussed.
期刊介绍：
Current Medical Science provides a forum for peer-reviewed papers in the medical sciences, to promote academic exchange between Chinese researchers and doctors and their foreign counterparts. The journal covers the subjects of biomedicine such as physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, pathology and pathophysiology, etc., and clinical research, such as surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and otorhinolaryngology etc. The articles appearing in Current Medical Science are mainly in English, with a very small number of its papers in German, to pay tribute to its German founder. This journal is the only medical periodical in Western languages sponsored by an educational institution located in the central part of China.
