New drug delivery methods to reach glioblastoma by overcoming tumor environment challenges

Updated

Abstract

The complex tumor microenvironment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) presents multiple barriers to effective treatment.

  • Key challenges in the GBM tumor microenvironment include hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, and immunosuppression.
  • Structural barriers such as increased interstitial fluid pressure and the blood-brain barrier limit the efficacy of therapies.
  • Innovative methods to improve therapeutic delivery involve advanced formulation strategies and precise targeting mechanisms.
  • Emerging technologies, including 3D-printed models and AI techniques, could address the barriers associated with the GBM tumor microenvironment.
  • Combining these novel approaches may enhance the specificity and efficacy of therapies for GBM.
