 | | Immunotherapy is also being investigated as a potential therapy for individuals with glioblastoma multiforme. | | | More studies are needed to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of these therapies for the treatment of individuals with glioblastoma multiforme. | | | An experimental technique for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme is brachytherapy, also called "interstitial radiation" or "seeding." Via a surgical procedure, radioactive pellets such as iodine, iridium, or gold isotopes, are implanted directly into the tumor. |
