Vaccines to Prevent High-Grade Glioma

Video
Conference|American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting (AACR)

This video examines current research on the use of vaccines in low-grade glioma for the prevention of high-grade disease.

In this video, Hideho Okada, MD, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco, discusses current research on the use of vaccines in low-grade glioma for the prevention of high-grade disease.

Okada gave a presentation on this topic at the 2017 American Association for Cancer Researcher (AACR) Annual Meeting, held April 1–5 in Washington, DC.
