Researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital developed a new cell therapy
that both helps eliminate current tumors and acts as a cancer vaccine to
prevent tumors from reoccurring.Estimates say that more than 13,000 Americans received a diagnosis of
glioblastoma — a type of brain cancer — in 2022.
There is currently no cure for glioblastoma. The new cell therapy to both

Treatment options generally include a combination of surgery, radiation,
and chemotherapy to help slow the growth of tumors.
Scientists recently showed promising results testing the new therapy in a
mouse model of glioblastoma.
