📢Hot off press Journal of Neuro-Oncology! Pooled results of 12 RCTs on newly diagnosed GBM showed that angiogenesis inhibitors improve PFS but not OS, with Avastin having the highest effect on PFS. Special thanks to Drs Jason Sheehan and Amir Faraji, MD, PhD for supervision and team for great work.
