Adenovirus Mediated Herpes Simplex Virus-Thymidine Kinase/Ganciclovir Gene Therapy for Resectable Malignant Glioma
1 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
With the introduction of sophisticated tools of molecular biology, prodrug activating gene therapies have evolved as a novel therapeutic option for high-grade malignant gliomas. Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSV-tk/GCV) is an extensively studied form of cytotoxic gene therapies. It is especially applicable for localized cancers, such as malignant glioma because of its restricted anatomical...
