Research Summary
Glioblastoma, a highly aggressive brain tumor, poses significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its complex nature and resistance to conventional therapies. Pranav Potluri’s research investigates the efficacy of existing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, aiming to identify strategies that improve patient outcomes.
This study evaluates a range of diagnostic tools, including advanced imaging techniques like MRI and PET scans, and molecular biomarkers that aid in early detection. The research also explores cutting-edge treatment options such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and tumor-treating fields (TTFields), assessing their success in enhancing survival rates and quality of life for patients.
Key findings underscore the potential of combination therapies, integrating surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy, in prolonging patient survival. Additionally, the study highlights emerging advancements in gene therapy and personalized medicine as promising avenues for future glioblastoma treatment.
Pranav Potluri’s work contributes valuable insights to the field of oncology, emphasizing the importance of innovation and multidisciplinary approaches in tackling one of the most challenging cancers. His research stands as a beacon of hope for glioblastoma patients and the medical community striving to improve their care.
