A member asked:
What do you suggest if my dad has a glioblastoma brain tumour. can anyone recommend any alternative treatments?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Experimental trials: n general as much tumor as can be removed safely is beneficial followed by radiation therapy. Younger patients should also receive chemotherapy. The answer would be best reviewed with your Neurosurgeon and Oncologist. I would also consider experimental trials too. Best of luck.
