Glioblastoma (GBM) Overview

Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, defined strictly under the current WHO classification as an IDH-wildtype diffuse astrocytic glioma. It is characterized by microvascular proliferation, intense therapeutic resistance, and pseudopalisading necrosis. Driven by genomic alterations like EGFR amplification and TERT promoter mutations, its management is heavily influenced by MGMT promoter methylation status, which serves as a vital predictive biomarker for alkylating chemotherapy response rather than an oncogenic driver. Patients present with progressive headaches, seizures, and focal neurological deficits. Diagnosis relies on contrast-enhanced brain MRI showing a heterogeneously enhancing ring lesion, confirmed via histopathology. Standard frontline care utilizes maximal safe resection followed by radiotherapy and concurrent temozolomide, supplemented by tumor-treating fields. For recurrent disease, the investigational frontier focuses on combination checkpoint blockade, CAR-T platforms, dendritic cell vaccines, and oncolytic viruses within clinical trials. Median survival remains constrained at fifteen months, shifting dynamically based on age, performance status, and MGMT methylation.
