Wonderful working with the awesome REDOX team @uiowa to move forward treatment options for our #braintumor patients!
Study by Petronek et al shows that pharmacological ascorbate plus #temozolomide and #radiotherapy significantly enhances GBM survival They also find that T2*-based MRI is a biomarker for clinical outcomes. bit.ly/412nsAW @BrainIsThePath @buettner_garry
