Surgery Creates Window to Attack Brain Cancer | Cork News

Scientists are unlocking a powerful new strategy to fight deadly brain cancer: attacking glioblastoma immediately after surgery, when the body’s natural defenses briefly drop. Normally, chemo waits weeks for recovery—but new research shows the blood-brain barrier weakens just 15 minutes post-op and again 48–72 hours later, creating a rare window to hit lingering cancer cells before they regrow. Mouse studies prove timing treatments during these windows can stop tumors from returning, potentially revolutionizing care by making existing drugs more effective—and offering hope for longer survival without waiting for recovery.
