What Does GBM Stand For?
GBM stands for Glioblastoma Multiforme
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive and highly invasive brain tumor, classified as a grade IV glioma. It arises from glial cells in the brain and is characterized by rapid growth, a tendency to infiltrate surrounding brain tissue, and a poor prognosis. Symptoms may include headaches, seizures, cognitive changes, and neurological deficits. Due to its complexity, treatment typically involves a combination of surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, although challenges remain in achieving effective long-term management.
