Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
One of my very close relatives has been diagnosed with glioblastoma, stage 2. We need immediate consultation and guidance.
Please guide.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
According to the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report, it looks like a high-grade glioma and is more likely glioblastoma. Just to correct you, glioblastoma is a grade 4 (highest grade) tumor, and it is synonymous with brain cancer. But it needs to be operated. Then only we will get a definite diagnosis, and after debulking the tumor, he can undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy if it is a glioblastoma only.
The overall prognosis is bad if it is glioblastoma. Surgery with chemo or radiotherapy will only prolong survival by a few months, but a definite diagnosis can only be made after surgery and biopsy of the tumor.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
