Biology and therapy of glial tumors
Curr Opin Neurol Neurosurg.
1992 Dec.
Abstract
Glial tumors remain challenging problems for the clinician and researcher. Despite more aggressive therapy, the majority of these tumors recur locally. This review will provide an update on the new strategies being developed to treat gliomas. Advances in our understanding of the biology of glial tumors will provide new targets at which to direct therapy.
