Extra-Neural Metastases of Glioblastoma: A Case Series

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common brain tumor and has a median survival of less than two years. The current standard of care consists of surgery followed by concomitant radio and chemotherapy with temozolomide. Although it is an aggressive tumor, distant metastases are extremely rare. The dissemination mechanisms are not fully understood and currently there is no standard of care for its treatment. In this study, the authors present a comprehensive analysis of all the existing cases of extra-neural metastases of GBM in a tertiary care center over the last five years, along with the procedures carried out in each case.
