Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1-mutant (IDH1m) gliomas are recalcitrant tumors for which radiotherapy remains a standard treatment. A recent study identified ZMYND8 as a key mediator of radioresistance for IDH1m gliomas, and pharmacologic targeting of this pathway may heighten radiotherapy-induced tumor response, providing a prospect of improved clinical outcomes.
