  • My Cousin was just Diagnosed with GBM and has had one brain surgery, and she is on a chemo and Radiation course right now. She has been to Mayo Clinic once and lives in Minnesota. Does anyone know any good oncologists in that area that could be recommended to her?

      Taken form the consult posted below, has your cousin had testing for MGMT promoter methylation? The MGMT status guides how and when to have the chemo temozolomide. (frequently called TMZ). Also she should probably have broad genomic testing using a test like Foundation One, if that is possible. These tests may identify specific mutations or genetic alterations that make you eligible for specific clinical trials now or in the future.
