Combination Radiation Therapy and Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Therapy in Preclinical Models of Glioma
DownloadSpring 2017
Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults, with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and most deadly form of glioma, making up over half of all diagnosed cancers in the brain/central nervous system. The standard of care for gliomas has remained unchanged for...

Deletion of F4L (ribonucleotide reductase) in Vaccinia Virus Produces a Selective Oncolytic Virus and Promotes Anti-tumor Immunity with Superior Safety in Bladder Cancer
DownloadFall 2017
Overall recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) can be as high as 80% within 5 years of initial treatment. High-grade NMIBC has the greatest risk of recurrence and treatment for these patients includes surgery followed by intravesical therapy with the immunotherapeutic agent...

Investigating Radiation in Combination with Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus to Improve the Treatment of Glioblastoma
DownloadFall 2023
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant and immune-suppressed brain cancer that remains incurable despite the current standard of care. Radiotherapy is a mainstay of GBM treatment, however invasive cancer cells outside the irradiated field and radioresistance preclude complete eradication of GBM cells....

Novel Insights into the Role of O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase in Glioblastoma Angiogenesis, Invasion, and Proliferation
DownloadFall 2012
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterized by aberrant angiogenesis, rapid proliferation, and widespread invasion through the brain parenchyma. Thus, the prognosis for these tumors remains extremely poor despite aggressive multimodal treatment including chemotherapy with the alkylating agent...
