Suggest Treatment For Glioblastoma Multiforme
My mom recently had a brain biopsy, the results came back inconclusive? all 14 swabs of tissue? the doctors seem to think it s glioblastoma, however we want to be 100% positive before we put her through radiation and chemo. She s had ct scans and 3 mri s?

Hello. I have been through your question and understand yoir concern.
GB is often diagnosed on MRI and 95% of the cases biopsy confirms it. The diferential diagnosis is methastasis and less common brain abscess. If in the several MRI the features are the same it is for sure GB. So I suggest following with chemo + radiotherapy (Stupp protocol)
Hope this helps.
