Content Summary :
Glioblastoma multiforme, the most common of malignant brain tumors in adults, is one of the deadliest of all forms of cancer. Striking some 18,000 new victims in the United States every year, the disease is always fatal, usually within six months of onset. Surgery and conventional radiation therapies may prolong life for up to a year, but cannot stop the tumors from continuing to spread throughout the brain. Some anticancer drugs show promise against brain tumors, but getting drugs past the blood-brain barrier is a major challenge. Now a collaboration of researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Children’s Hospital of Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) have demonstrated the potential for nanosized synthetic particles of low density lipoprotein, or LDL, to deliver anticancer drugs to glioblastoma multiforme tumors safely and effectively.
