Rogue DNA rings may explain glioblastoma's deadly resilience

sciencedaily.com

Rogue DNA rings called ecDNA may be key to understanding and treating glioblastoma. These rings, containing cancer-driving genes like EGFR, appear early in glioblastoma development, potentially before tumors fully form, contributing to rapid growth and treatment resistance. This discovery offers a potential window for earlier detection and intervention, possibly through blood tests, before the cancer becomes untreatable.
