Abstract

In this CCR Translations, we discuss pharmacologic ascorbate as a novel therapeutic for glioblastoma (GBM). Aberrant iron metabolism in GBM can be assessed noninvasively by MRI and exploited to potentially improve the efficacy of chemoradiotherapy. We contextualize the study's results and discuss the next steps to further develop this paradigm. See related article by Petronek et al., p. 283.
