title: Glial tumors--new approaches in chemotherapy.
abstract: While malignant glioma remains a devastating diagnosis, recent significant advances are occurring, which we hope will have a positive effect on patient survival. Agents designed to target specific processes and structures involved in tumor cell division and innovative combinations of cytotoxic and cytostatic therapies offer future hope for the efficacious treatment of gliomas.
