lack of effective therapies?? why were we not told.

It is interesting what you read. Especially after the event, this little quote caught my eye.

"lack of effective therapies" we were never told about that ever.....


Brain Tumor Stem Cells Killed By Experimental Anti-Cancer Drug

Our study lends evidence to the idea that the lack of effective therapies for glioblastoma may be due to the survival of a rare population of cancer stem cells that appear immune to conventional radiation and chemotherapy," says Charles G. Eberhart, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pathology, ophthalmology and oncology, who led the work. "Hedgehog inhibition kills these cancer stem cells and prevents cancer from growing and may thus develop into the first stem cell-directed therapy for glioblastoma."

survival less than one year! Glioblastoma

This sounds like my dad.
It is likely he will lat less than a year.


Expression of Interleukin-13 Receptor {alpha}2 in Glioblastoma Multiforme: Implications for Targeted Therapies -- Jarboe et al. 67 (17): 7983 -- Cancer Research

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary malignant brain tumor and despite treatment with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the median survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme is ~1 year.
