Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults. Current treatment options at diagnosis are multimodal and include surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Innovative treatments, such as tumor-treating fields (TTFields) and immunotherapy, give hope for enhanced survival.
