What is the best treatment for glioblastoma multiforme?

Chemo-radiation: Gbm is usually diagnosied by surgical removal of as much of the tumor that can be taken safely, followed by a combination of oral chemotherapy and brain radiation therapy. However, the results are suboptimal and if a clinical trial is available in your area that should be considered.

Multimodal treatment: The best treatment at this time for glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) is maximal safe surgical resection, followed by concurrent radiation and chemotherapy for the first 6 weeks. After that patients are usually placed on chemotherapy cycles for 6 months or until there is recurrence. At the time of recurrence additional surgery, different chemo, clinical trials or electric field therapy are options.
