Abstract

Malignant gliomas have invasive properties that make them nearly impossible to cure surgically. Most physicians agree that the best hope for long-term control lies with adjunctive therapies. One emerging field of research attempts to limit tumor growth by interfering with vascular proliferation that occurs as a physiologic response to hypoxia within the tumor.
