Rescue Therapy in Patient with Glioblastoma Multiforme Combining Chemotherapy, Hyperthermia, Phytotherapy
Journal Title: Journal of Integrative Oncology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme is a pathology that is poorly treatable and tends towards recurrence. If surgically unresectable, at least without macroscopically visible residue, the prognosis is severe. Here is the case of a 60-yearold woman suffering from recurrent glioblastoma who comes to my observation with no therapeutic options and treated with a combination of antiangiogenic drug, RF capacitive hyperthermia and herbal medicine, earns an acceptable quality of life and survival prolongation of six months.
