  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATMENT OF GLIOBLASTOMA
    Publication number: 20170321281
    Abstract: Techniques for treating a subject with M-GBM and recurrent GBM are provided. Example methods include obtaining at least two M-GBM tumor samples from different locations within a patient, extracting genomic DNA from each of the tumor samples, and determining whether the subject has a mutation in PI3K-AKT-mTOR (PAM) pathway in both DNA samples. If a mutation in PAM pathway is present in each of the isolated DNA samples, the method can further include treating the subject with an effective amount of an agent that inhibits the PAM pathway. Pharmaceutical agents and kits for use in the treatment of M-GBM and recurrent GBM are also provided.
