Abstract Content: Glioblastoma (also Known As Glioblastoma Multiform) Is The Most Common Primary Brain Tumor In Adults. It Remains An Unmet Need In Oncology. Complementing An Earlier Discussion Of Primary And Secondary Tumors In Both Cases Of Monotherapies And Combined Therapies, Clinical Trials And Other Reported Practices Will Also Be Discussed And Summarized. Regarding Chemotherapy, Whereas It Has Historically Provided Little Durable Benefit With Tumors Recurring Within Several Months, For Brain Tumors, The Access Is Hindered Or Even Forbidden By The Presence Of The Brain Protective Barriers, Chiefly The Blood Brain Barrier. More Effective Therapies Involving Other Options Are Required Including Surgery, Conformal Radiotherapy, Boron Neutron Therapy, Intensity Modulated Proton Beam Therapy, Antiangiogenic Therapy, Alternating Electric Field Therapy, ...without Neglecting Palliative Therapies. Research Conducted In These And Other Options Is Also Reviewed To Include MicroRNA, Immunotherapy, Adjuvant Therapy, Gene Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy, And Intra-nasal Drug Delivery.
