Brain scans of glioblastoma tumors (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers at WashU Medicine have identified a possible way to make glioblastoma cells vulnerable to different types of immunotherapy. The strategy, which they demonstrated in cells in the lab, forces brain cancer cells to display targets for the immune system to attack. Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive cancers, as illustrated by these brain scans from a patient with glioblastoma at initial diagnosis (left) and the same patient with a recurrent tumor (right).
