Brain Cancer. Motor Skills Are Eliminated And On Morphen Drip. What Can It Lead To?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Glioblastoma multiforme is an aggressive type of brain cancer and does not respond well to treatment. Complete removal of the tumor is often not successful and radiation is only partly effective. Tempzolamide is used for chemotherapy. Despite the best treatment, most people survive 6-12 months after diagnosis. Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) Senior consultant Neurologist Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad
