Editorial: Innovative approaches in glioma therapy: exploring new therapeutic frontiers, volume II

Abstract

[EN] The second volume of the Research Topic entitled “Innovative approaches in glioma therapy: exploring new therapeutic frontiers,” together with the first volume (Marcos et al.), shows the large number of different strategies that exist to combat glioma. In the first volume, molecular targets (ADORA1, Fyn, metformin, ion channels, and clusterin), prognostic assessment (lysine crotonylation-related long non-coding RNAs), anti-glioma therapies (intraoperative radiotherapy, the combination of photodynamic, and tumor-treating fields therapies) and studies focused on pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma and the involvement of the gut microbiota in glioma were published (Marcos et al.). Building on this, this second Research Topic expands our understanding of various aspects of glioma, ranging from original articles and patient studies to review articles that compile some of the available information on glioma from a multidisciplinary perspective. Both volumes considerably increase our knowledge on glioma from different approaches.
