Here, we examine how EGFR and key downstream signaling networks contribute to the hallmark characteristics of GBM such as rapid cancer cell proliferation and diffused invasion. Additionally, we discuss current therapeutic options for GBM patients and elaborate on the mechanisms through which EGFR promotes chemoresistance. We conclude by offering a perspective on how the potential of integrative systems biology may be harnessed to develop safe and effective treatment strategies for this disease.\n\nIndexed on Europe PMC as PubMed record 19738203 (DOI 10.1126/scisignal.287re6).
