Glioblastoma is considered one of the deadliest forms of cancer. It claimed the life of Tragically Hip singer Gord Downie in 2017
A new combination of treatments for glioblastoma allowed patients with the recurring brain cancer to live longer, and in some cases, shrank or even eradicated their tumours, researchers have found.
Glioblastoma is notoriously difficult to treat and is considered one of the deadliest forms of cancer. It claimed the life of Tragically Hip singer Gord Downie in 2017. The incidence of glioblastoma isto be about four per 100,000 people in Canada. Patients typically have their tumours removed surgically, then receive chemotherapy and radiation therapy. But the cancer invariably recurs.
The trial involved patients at 13 hospitals across North America, including Toronto’s University Health Network. The researchers found that the patients generally tolerated the treatment well. While they reported some side effects, such as headache and fever, these were no different than expected for the normal patient population with recurrent glioblastoma, Dr. Nassiri said.
