Abstract

Despite surgical resection followed by DNA-damaging adjuvant therapies, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains incurable with a median survival of just 15.6 months. Anomalies within the DNA damage response (DDR) contribute to treatment resistance. We have previously shown that the Fanconi Anaemia (FA) pathway, a key DDR process, remains inactive in normal brain but is re-activated in GBM, making it an appealing foundational target for cancer-specific combination therapies. AIM: To determine whether combined targeting of the FA pathway and interconnected DDR processes could form a basis for new, effective multimodal therapies.
