Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common primary brain
tumour in adults. Despite research efforts and progress in neuroimaging, neurosurgery, radiation and chemotherapy, the overall
survival of patients with this disease has changed little over the
past 30 years. Presenting a clinical case, the authors make a
short revision of the literature.
