Browsing: Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is an aggressive and the most common type of primary brain cancer in adults. It originates in the brain’s glial cells, which surround and support the nerve cells. Glioblastoma is known for its rapid growth and tendency to invade surrounding brain tissue, making it particularly difficult to treat effectively. Symptoms can vary depending on the tumor’s location but often include headaches, nausea, seizures, and cognitive or personality changes. Treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, aimed at prolonging survival and improving quality of life. Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis for glioblastoma remains poor, with a median survival time of about 15 to 18 months following diagnosis.
