Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Though it can occur at any age, it tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures. Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), can be very difficult to treat. It represents about 15 percent of all primary brain tumors. The Brain & Spine Tumor Program at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center treats GBM and other tumors through advances in medical and surgical therapies and a broadened array of clinical trials.

Glioblastoma Fund

Julian E. Smith had three bouts with four different types of cancer, including glioblastoma. He wanted to turn his condition from a negative to a positive, so he created a glioblastoma fund for cancer research at Hollings. While Julian is no longer with us, his amazing legacy lives on. To make a gift to the fund, choose Glioblastoma from the dropdown on the donation page.
