Several modalities have been and continue to be tested to treat malignant gliomas [4–7], and gene therapy is undergoing extensive investigation [8–10] due to the widely characterized genetic defects of gliomas [1,11,12] and the delimited localization of these tumors within the brain.
Gene therapy involves the delivery of genes that drive the therapy to the cancer cells. Thus, it is crucial to find a vector that delivers a specific gene to tumor tissue efficiently and to define the type of genes that kill tumor cells most effectively. Nevertheless, unexpected difficulties arising in clinical trials of gene therapy in patients with brain tumors have taken the research beyond exploration for the most efficient vector and therapeutic gene, and opened new fields of investigation to improve brain tumor therapies.
I feel that there is a lot of research to be done before this is a slam dunk.
