Abstract: Glioblastoma multiform is one of the deadliest cancers known and represents approximately 40% of all primary brain tumors diagnosed.A major histopathological hallmark of these tumors is increased vascularity and micro-vascular proliferation.Work recently completed by our lab showed increased micro-vascular density (MVD) following oncolytic virus (OV) therapy.To this end we created a novel armed OV termed RAMBO (Rapid Anti-angiogenesis Mediated By Oncolytic virus) that contains the transgene econding Vasculostatin (Vstat120).Vstat120 is the extracellular fragment of
