Glioblastoma Multiforme Support
GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME

With the exception of the brainstem gliomas, GLIOBLASTOMA has the worst
prognosis of any central nervous system (CNS) malignancy.  Treatments
consist of open craniotomy with surgical resection of as much of the tumor as
possible, followed by concurrent or sequential chemo/radiotherapy, gamma
knife radiosurgery, and symptomatic management with corticosteroids.

Prognosis is poor, with a median survival time of approximately 14 months.

Since brain cancer affects a relatively small portion of the population, there is
a greater need for more public awareness and fundraising.  We must
recognize the importance of investing in the early stages of the most novel
sectors of the discovery and development pipeline in order to
“buy down the risk” for those  doing research and speed progress of
innovative new treatments to the patients.

GREY MATTERS!  This is the swiftest of cancers.  
There is no time to think or feel when you get this diagnosis.  
If you are not quick on your feet with a plan to move,
you will loose this battle before it begins.  

PLEASE HELP US HELP THOSE IN RESEARCH AND PUBLIC AWARENESS
OF THIS DEADLY DISEASE.  

There is no determined cause....we are all at risk!
"Until we bring more awareness to this form of
cancer, we will continue to lose the battle..."
