Specializes in Internal Medicine

The treatment: you mention indicates that our wife probably has a GLIOBLASTOMA, an unfortunately" persistent" cancer . However, there are University based Protocols for newer agents and I strongly suggest these protocols , if avalable< be reviewed. Hope this is helpful! Best of luck.... Z
