Glioblastoma is the cancer of glial cells of the brain. Glial cancer has been divided into four stages depending on its severity and glioblastoma is categorised as grade IV stage of glial cancer. This means such a type of cancer is highly malignant. These type of cancerous cells spread very fast and thus metastasise rapidly within the brain cells. Glioblastoma commonly occurs among the middle aged men of Asian origin. The major risk factor of this disease is radiation exposure. In many individuals the symptoms do not become apparent while others may experience some symptoms like headache, seizures, nausea and vomiting. Treatment generally includes oral chemotherapy. But surgery and radiation therapy are also the preferred options of treatment for glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma tends to be more common in older adults. Men have a higher risk of developing this aggressive form of brain cancer compared to women.
Management of glioblastoma using immunotherapy and cannabinoids. An experts sheds lights on this combination treatment for brain tumors.
Dr Praveen Gupta, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, shares the diagnosis, treatment and survival rates for glioblastoma.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant compounds in cannabis. It is being touted as a treatment for numerous condition. Researchers find positive results in brain tumour treatment as well.
A new study has found that following ketogenic metabolic therapy might be helpful for those with glioblastoma - a type of aggressive brain tumour.
One-third of brain tumours are estimated to be cancerous. 3D biopsies have revealed new information about brain tumours, which could lead to better diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Biological mechanism allows brain cancer cells to hide from drugs
Can the Raman effect help improve brain tumour surgery?
Anti-psychotic medications new hope against brain tumours
Stem cells loaded with the herpes virus can kill brain tumours!
Discovered -- a new marker to predict response to chemotherapy
Stem cells from body fat can destroy tumour cells
A vaccine to beat brain cancer?
