Remarkable enhancement of cytotoxicity of onconase and cepharanthine when used in combination on various tumor cell lines.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although the prognosis for malignant gliomas is normally dismal, it's not infrequent in neurooncologist's experience to find cases with unusually prolonged survival. In order to understand what factors influence survival of high grade glioma patients, a cohort of 196 high (III-IV) grade glioma patients was i...
