Glioblastoma Multiforme

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive type of brain tumor that arises from glial cells, which support and protect neurons. It is known for its rapid growth and tendency to invade surrounding brain tissue, making complete surgical removal challenging. Symptoms can include headaches, seizures, and cognitive changes, depending on its location. GBM is often diagnosed in adults and has a poor prognosis due to its resilient nature and resistance to standard treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Ongoing research aims to find more effective therapies for this complex cancer.
