Personalized Cancer Stem Cell High-Throughput Drug Screening for Glioblastoma

Summary

Proposed treatment of subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with novel personalized drug regimens identified to be effective in vitro using cancer stem cells derived from their individual tumors, alongside standard of care radiation and TMZ.
