Abstract:The glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant glial brain tumour with average survival time of 6÷18 months. Emerging evidence suggests that GBM cells appears to reprogram their tumour microenvironment, which is a highly heterogeneous and complex system, so that an efficient GBM radiotherapy (RT) should cover both the cells of the GBM and those of its microenvironment. Relying on a 5-year collaborative research study on the intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT) with fast neutrons - the so-called neutron… Show more
