Summary

This early-phase study tests whether combining targeted radiation with an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) before surgery can help control glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Twelve newly diagnosed patients will receive two weeks of treatment, then undergo standard surgery, followed by continued immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and delays tumor progression.
