Good news from SC.
Incredible.
Ping list worthy?
I have lost a beloved niece, my cousins husband, and a long time friend to glioblastomas. This is fantastic news because a glioblastoma is a death sentence.
This is fabulous, thank you for posting!

Astonishing.

This is amazing news and just brightened my spirits beyond belief.
My mom died of a Glioblastoma multiforme 36 years ago. That they could even diagnos it at they time (those new fangled CT scans) was an amazing plus at the time (the used to “find” brain tumors via xray or post mortum). It was a death sentence...she lived 6 mos and one day (we swear the extra day was her way of flipping off the surgeon who kept casually proclaiming “she won’t last 6 months.) I had found my mom on the kitchen floor (I was in HS). She had had a grand mal seizure.
At the time (again long ago) it was explained to our family they glios grow slowly and once so much of healthy tissue is displaced the “symptoms” start to appear. Amazing to learn that research has brought then to curing happily one patient and I pray ALL others who have this horror.
Thanks for the posting!
This makes sense because polio is very oriented to attacking the CNS. The real trick is how they modified it to only attack the cancerous tissue.
Interesting stuff.
I will have to see if this has been published yet in the medical literature, so I can see the exact details of what was done.
