Webinar: High-throughput DNA damage analyses identify synergistic drug combinations to treat malignant brain tumours

Webinar Abstract: Current methods to treat malignant brain tumors are highly intrusive, leading to poor quality of life with abysmal patient survival rates. Combined with radiation therapy, first/second-line DNA damaging chemotherapeutics marginally improve patient survival. However, high rates of drug-resistance and recurrence are due to development of intra/intertumoral heterogeneity due in part from the emergence of chemoradioresistant clones.
