Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly infiltrative brain tumor. The treatment of GBM is challenging due to the existence of blood brain barrier, its highly invasive nature, and its heterogeneity. Given the limitations of conventional therapies, this Perspective explores the development trajectory of implantable devices, highlighting the advantages of current models. With the progression in research, these implantable devices certainly hold promising potential for GBM therapy.
