Glioblastoma is a disease linked to certain genetic syndromes. However, it also occurs in people with no family history of cancer, and even in certain dog breeds. This point could be a key detail in efforts to find a cure. A study at Johns Hopkins University is experimenting with injecting a radioactive isotope directly into glioblastoma tumors in dogs, while another study is using heat and radiation to destroy the cancer cells. At the same time, researchers at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine are carrying out experiments in which cytotoxic substances are injected into tumors in dogs' brains. The results of all these studies could be significant for treating glioblastoma tumors in humans.
