Glioblastoma invasion is the primary mechanism responsible for its dismal prognosis and is the direct result of interactions between glioblastoma cells and the tumor vasculature. The dysregulated microvasculature in glioblastoma tumors and vessels co-opted from surrounding brain tissue support rapid tumor growth and are utilized as pathways for invasive cancer cells. Attempts to target the glioblastoma vasculature with antiangiogenic agents (eg, bevacizumab) have nonetheless shown limited and inconsistent efficacy, and the underlying causes of such heterogeneous responses remain unknown. Several studies have identified that patients with glioblastoma who develop hypertension following treatment with bevacizumab show significant improvement in overall survival compared with normotensive nonresponders. Here we review these findings and discuss the potential of hypertension as a biomarker for glioblastoma treatment response in individual patients and the role of hypertension as a modulator of interactions between tumor cells and cells in the perivascular niche. We suggest that a better understanding of the actions of bevacizumab and hypertension at the cellular level will contribute to developing more effective personalized therapies that address glioblastoma tumor cell invasion.
