What to do if you have been diagnosed with Glioblastoma
|
- Contact Us
- Find a brain tumor center that offers advanced treatment options versus one standard treatment for all—standard meaning: six weeks of standard radiation plus Temador (chemo drug).
- Prior to surgery, complete paperwork to arrange for live tissue to be saved separate from pathology requirements
- Request genetic testing and DNA sequencing on your live brain tumor sample to develop an individualized treatment plan for you.
- Work with a neuro-oncologist to schedule MRI’s more routinely than standard protocol
