Medical Treatment

for Glioblastoma Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive type of brain cancer and the most common form of brain tumor in adults. Treatment for glioblastoma typically involves multi-modal strategies such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Surgery can be used to remove as much of the tumor as possible, while radiation therapy and chemotherapy are used to kill cancer cells that may remain following surgery. Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that focuses on specific abnormal features of the cancer cells in order to minimize damage to healthy cells. This form of treatment is promising in improving patient outcomes and is being used increasingly in the management of glioblastoma.
