Although uncommon, "brain cancer" is one of the most feared diseases that afflict human beings. While still regarded as one of the most deadly forms of primary brain neoplasm, recent advances in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) have offered new hope for patients, families, and clinicians. In the first part of this two-part review, we will focus on the multidisciplinary advances that have established the current treatment approach in the management of GBM. In the second part of this review, ongoing research will be presented including current clinical trials as well as some of the newer technologies that are forming the promise of the future.
尽管并不常见，但“脑癌”是困扰人类的最令人恐惧的疾病之一。虽然胶质母细胞瘤（GBM）仍被视为原发性脑肿瘤最致命的形式之一，但近年来GBM治疗方面的进展为患者、家属和临床医生带来了新希望。在这篇分两部分的综述的第一部分中，我们将重点关注确立当前GBM治疗方法的多学科进展。在综述的第二部分，将介绍正在进行的研究，包括当前的临床试验以及一些有望引领未来的新技术。
