Glioblastoma Multiforme is a grade IV detrimental tumor occurring in nearly 13,000 Americans annually, presenting a serious and often fatal toll on the individual suffering from the tumor. However, the resistant properties of the cells which together form the tumor pose a variety of issues in terms of treatment, including violently spreading throughout the central nervous system, disrupting the blood-brain barrier, as well as having a survival rate of forty-percent. There has yet to be a guaranteed effective treatment for Glioblastoma, however, a form of treatment known as stem-cell therapy utilizing neural stem cells has recently gained interest as a common form of treatment. The various forms of treatment for Glioblastoma Multiforme other than primarily stem-cell based therapy as well as the composition of these stem cells has been presented and analyzed in this paper, in order to present and suggest which form of treatment for this tumor is the most effective.
