Inside the latest research advancements to help combat brain cancer Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center are developing new strategies to better understand and treat one of the most challenging forms of cancer. https://t.co/bzdXrsUqH2 The need for more effective treatments for brain tumors like glioblastoma is imperative. The average lifespan of someone diagnosed with glioblastoma is just 12 to 15 months, and only about 5% of people diagnosed with the disease are alive five years after their diagnosis. “While glioblastoma remains a formidable challenge, these breakthroughs, which include novel combination therapies, next-generation organoid models, precision medicine strategies, and first-in-human vaccine trials, bring real hope,” said Dr. Linda Liau, chair of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and director of the UCLA Brain Tumor Program. “Each new discovery gets us closer to improving survival and quality of life for patients facing this devastating disease.”
