Hello, Can anyone tell me what is the life expectancy of glioblastoma? Glioma is a type of tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. Three types of glial cells can produce tumors. Gliomas are classified according to the type of glial cell involved in the tumor. A glioma can affect your brain function and be life-threatening.

@xon Hello, The average life expectancy for glioblastoma patients who undergo treatment is 12-15 months, and only four months for those who do not receive treatment. Glioblastomas develop from glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Grades III and IV are considered high-grade gliomas and represent the majority of brain tumors. Glioblastomas are astrocytic tumors with necrosis and microvascular proliferation. Patients suffering from this most malignant type usually succumb to the disease 12 to 18 months after diagnosis. Thanks!
