Q&A: Using advanced imaging to improve brain cancer treatment

Glioblastoma is one of the most treatment-resistant brain tumors, making it especially difficult to treat. Part of that resistance stems from its unique tumor microenvironment—the complex mix of cells and biological activity surrounding the tumor.

Using Advanced Imaging to Improve Brain Cancer Treatment

Benjamin Ellingson, PhD, and his team are developing advanced MRI and PET imaging techniques that allow clinicians and researchers to look beyond standard brain scans and study tumor biology and the tumor microenvironment in real time.
