Journal Article
Smith, S. J., Diksin, M., Chhaya, S., Sairam, S., Estevez-Cebrero, M. A., & Rahman, R. (2017). The invasive region of glioblastoma defined by 5ALA guided surgery has an altered cancer stem cell marker profile compared to central tumour. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 18(11), https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms18112452

Glioblastoma, a WHO grade IV astrocytoma, is a highly aggressive and heterogeneous tumour that infiltrates deeply into surrounding brain parenchyma, making complete surgical resection impossible. Despite chemo-radiotherapy, the residual cell populati...
