Tumor recurrence after suicide gene therapy. (A‒D) Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stainings of 4 recurrent and invasive tumors in the mesencephalon/pons. Arrows indicate virtual tumor borders. (E) H&E staining of a small tumor lesion with invasive tumor cells at the primary site (cerebrum) from one animal with the main tumor recurrence in the pons/mesencephalon. Arrows indicate virtual tumor border. (F) H&E staining of a primary tumor in the cerebrum of one control animal showing a typical GBM phenotype with palisading necrosis.
