Abstract

Current standard treatment for glioblastoma includes surgery followed by radiotherapy with chemotherapy, but survival rates remain notably low.

  • Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive and deadly central nervous system tumors.
  • There are significant challenges in developing effective treatment strategies for glioblastoma.
  • Conventional chemotherapy methods face limitations in delivering drugs effectively to glioblastoma cells.
  • Nanomedicine strategies are being explored as potentially promising alternatives for treating glioblastoma.
  • There is a growing focus on the clinical translation of nanochemotherapy for glioblastoma.
