Changing the Brain Cancer Game| Game on Glio

SEASON 6 Ep 07: Changing the Brain Cancer Game: Guest Dr. Annik Desjardins

What if the future of brain tumor treatment is closer than we think?

On this episode of Game On Glio, we sit down with Dr. Annick Desjardins, neuro-oncologist and Director of Clinical Research at Duke’s Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, for a powerful conversation about where brain tumor research and treatment are headed—and what that could mean for patients and families facing a diagnosis.

Dr. Desjardins takes us beyond the medical jargon and into the rapidly evolving world of brain tumor care, sharing insight into emerging treatments-including oncolytic and infection driven treatments, and clinical research. We also talk about the importance of hope, innovation, and continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible when it comes to treating brain tumors.

This is a conversation about science, possibility, and the people at the heart of every breakthrough. Because behind every clinical trial, every new treatment, and every research discovery is a patient waiting for more time, more options—and a reason to believe in what comes next.
