  • Glioblastoma (GB) is a highly aggressive brain cancer with poor prognosis, and this study aims to analyze 17 years of therapeutic and prognostic experiences in Mexico.
  • A retrospective study from 2000 to 2017 involved 137 patients; most received various combinations of treatments, including stereotactic radiotherapy, Temozolomide (TMZ), and Bevacizumab (BVZ).
