According to the experts, at present there is no cure for glioblastoma. There are, however multiple treatments to slow or ease symptoms.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America noted that the main ways for treating glioblastoma included surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and the newer targeted therapy.
"Targeted therapy [involves] medicines that target the parts of cancer cells that make them unlike normal cells. These new drugs are used more often to treat brain tumors than standard chemotherapy," explained CTCA.
"Targeted therapy can help when other treatments are not working as well. They can also have less-severe side effects than standard chemotherapy medicine."
