Abstract

Glioblastomas are serious tumours of the central nervous system. Recurrence is systematic and prognosis poor. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy follow surgery, when surgery is possible, to lengthen survival, while preserving quality of life as much as possible. In this respect, symptomatic treatments and supportive care are necessary.

Keywords: biopsie; biopsy; chemotherapy; chimiothérapie; excision; exérèse; glioblastoma; glioblastome; radiotherapy; radiothérapie; soins de support; supportive care.
