Glioblastoma is the most common, primary malignant brain tumor and causes remain unknown
Commonly known as glioblastoma multiforme or GBM, Glioblastoma is a highly malignant form of cancer that affects the brain and spinal cord. More than 13,000 Americans are diagnosed with GBM every year. GBM accounts for almost half of all cancerous brain tumors. It can affect anybody at any age, although it is more commonly found in people ages 45 to 70. It is non-genetic in nature and develops quickly. The reasons for its occurrence are unknown.
There is no cure for Glioblastoma. Treatments focus on removing or shrinking the tumor to reduce symptoms; however, they are not successful in long-term survival, making Glioblastoma a devastating diagnosis with most patients surviving an average of 12 to 18 months after diagnosis.
Solutions
The organization has the opportunity to meet with leaders in neuro-oncology as well as connect with the people and families directly impacted by Glioblastoma. The stories behind this deadly brain cancer drive their research funding mission.
Fueled by the founder's personal experience with GBM, The Glioblastoma Research Organization’s communications channels, such as social media, serve as a bridge to connect those all over the world who are suffering from Glioblastoma or have been affected by the disease. The GBMRO provides a hub for communication where people in the same situation can share their experiences.
