from glial (supportive) tissue of the brain and spinal cord and has cells that
looks very different from normal cells. Glioblastoma multiforme usually occurs
in adults and affects the brain more often than the spinal cord. Also called
GBM, glioblastoma, and grade IV astrocytoma. Glioblastoma multiforme is
the highest grade glioma (grade 4) tumor and is the most malignant form of
astrocytomas. These tumors originate in the brain. . Lilavati Medical Centre

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive
type of primary brain tumor in humans, involving glial cells and accounting for
52% of all parenchymal brain tumor cases and 20% of all intracranial tumors.
Despite being the most prevalent form of primary brain tumor, GBMs occur in
only 2–3 cases per 100,000 people in Europe and North America. According
to the WHO classification of the tumors of the central nervous system, the
standard name for this brain tumor is "glioblastoma"; it presents two variants:
giant cell glioblastoma and gliosarcoma. Glioblastomas are also an important
brain tumor of the canine, and research is ongoing to use this as a model for
developing treatments in humans. Even with current best efforts at treatment,
most patients who are diagnosed with Glioblastoma eventually die from it.
Treatment can involve chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Median survival
with standard-of-care radiation and chemotherapy with temozolomide is 15
months. Median survival without treatment is 4 1/2 months. Surgery is
controversial, since no randomized controlled trials have been done.
Symptoms –
General symptoms of Glioblastoma Multiforme are the same as for brain
tumors. Specific symptoms will depend on the size and location of the
glioblastoma multiforme. Although common symptoms of the disease include
seizure, nausea and vomiting, headache, and hemiparesis, the single most
prevalent symptom is a progressive memory, personality, or neurological
deficit due to temporal and frontal lobe involvement. The kind of symptoms
produced depends highly on the location of the tumor, more so than on its

2. pathological properties. The tumor can start producing symptoms quickly, but
occasionally is an asymptomatic condition until it reaches an enormous size.
A neurologic evaluation should be done if a patient has slowly increasing
signs of mental dysfunction, new seizures, persistent headaches or evidence
that there is pressure inside the skull, such as vomiting or swelling or
protrusion of the blind spot at the back of the eye. When viewed with MRI,
glioblastomas often appear as ring-enhancing lesions. The appearance is not
specific, however, as other lesions such as abscess, metastasis, tumefactive
multiple sclerosis and other entities may have a similar appearance. Definitive
diagnosis of a suspected GBM on CT or MRI requires a stereotactic biopsy or
a craniotomy with tumor resection. Depending on the patient's symptoms,
specialized tests may be done, including tests of the field of vision, the
sharpness of vision and hearing. If the results of other tests are not
conclusive, an examination of the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal
cord may be done, although it is usually unnecessary.
Treatment –
It is very difficult to treat glioblastoma due to several complicating factors:
 The tumor cells are very resistant to chemotherapy and other
conventional therapies
 The brain is susceptible to damage due to therapy
 The brain has a very limited capacity to repair itself
 Many drugs cannot cross the blood brain barrier to act on the tumor
 Treatment of primary brain tumors and brain metastases consists of
both symptomatic and palliative therapies.
Treatment of a Glioblastoma Multiforme depends on the nature of the
tumor, how rapidly it is growing, and what symptoms it causing and where it is
located. Radiation therapy is required to treat gliomas. Chemotherapy also
benefits some patients with such tumors. Research is being done on a
number of techniques that in the future might help treat Glioblastoma
Multiforme, including:
 Radioactive seed implants
 Stereotactic radiosurgery
 New forms of chemotherapy
Only about one out of every four patients with this type of tumor survives two
years. Prospects are better when:
 The patient is younger than 45
 All or most of the tumor can be removed

3.  The tumor turns out to be an anaplastic astrocytoma, which is one
stage less severe than gliobastoma multiforme
