When something gives an indication of success against GBM, I think it behooves medical professionals to pay attention. Historically, nothing really works against GBM. Temodar and radiation slow growth and extend life, but the disease is heterogeneous and extends microscopically beyond radiation margins. The BBB prohibits chemical infiltration into the brain. But Dr. Liau has made it clear that her research shows an immune response is capable within the brain. What I believe the next steps are within this line of research is to figure out how to strengthen the system and help the immune compromised. Our immune systems often can’t fight advanced infections on their own, as evidenced by the need for antibiotics. But immune mechanisms can be artificially advanced. There is so much work yet to be done, but this trial demonstrates an exciting pathway to explore dendritic cells as a vector to advance the immune system and fight malignant growths within the body.
