Know Your Treatment Options
What to do if you have been diagnosed with a brain tumor
- Find a brain tumor center that offers advanced treatment.
- Request genetic testing and DNA sequencing on your brain tumor to develop an individualized treatment plan for you.
- Choose a neuro-oncologist experienced in treating gliblastoma and other primary brain tumors.
IMPORTANT: Register with a brain tumor center as a patient right away even if you don’t receive immediate treatment there. They can review your records, guide your treatment plan, provide second opinions and enroll you in studies. CEF can assist you in this process.
