Rogue DNA rings may explain glioblastoma's 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 form, contributing to rapid growth and treatment resistance. This discovery offers hope for earlier detection and intervention, potentially through blood tests, before the aggressive cancer becomes untreatable.
