ABSTRACT
Are truly effective therapies for glioma finally within reach? An explosion of technologies and treatments in recent years brings with it the hope that the revolution is nigh, but decades of gains that can at best be considered incremental understandably temper optimism. Concepts such as "targeted therapy" and "personalized medicine" have grabbed the attention of the oncology community for over a decade; yet when applied to glioblastoma, our initial efforts have amounted to running into battle with limited armaments and an incomplete understanding of the enemy. Still, there is reason to believe that recent insights and advances have changed the equation, with real gains just over the horizon.
