flag Glioblastoma erodes skull bones and disrupts immunity, study finds, revealing limitations of current treatments.

flag Glioblastoma, the deadliest brain cancer, causes skull bone erosion and alters immune activity in skull marrow, according to a study by Montefiore Einstein researchers. flag Advanced imaging in mice and human CT scans show tumors erode skull sutures and expand bone channels, promoting inflammation while suppressing immune cell production in other bones like the femur. flag FDA-approved osteoporosis drugs halted skull damage but worsened tumor growth in one type and blocked anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy. flag The findings suggest current treatments fail because they ignore the cancer’s systemic effects, pointing to the need for new therapies targeting the tumor’s broader impact on bone and immunity.
