Abstract: Recent research indicates that glioblastomas exhibit different neural properties that successfully promote tumor growth, colonize the brain and resist standard treatment. This opens up opportunities for new therapeutic strategies giving rise to the new research field of cancer neuroscience at the interface between oncology and neuroscience. It has been observed that glioblastomas as well as other incurable brain tumor entities, form multicellular tumor networks through long cell projections called tumor microtubes that are molecularly controlled by neuronal developmental mechanisms. These networks provide the tumor with efficient communication and resilience to external perturbations and are tumor-intrinsic continuously activated by pacemaker-like tumor cells. In addition, neuron-tumor networks have been discovered that also exploit direct glutamatergic synaptic contacts between nerve cells and tumor cells. These different neuronal mechanisms of the glioblastoma networks contribute to malignancy and resistance, which is why strategies to separate these multicellular networks were developed and are currently being investigated in initial clinical trials with respect to their therapeutic suitability.
