The latest news:

• Phase 1b Study PVSRIPO for Recurrent Malignant Glioma in Children set to open soon         This is the polio vaccine treatment for brain tumors that was covered in 2 60 minutes episodes. Very exciting. And I am so proud to announce that the Musella Foundation played a role in getting this trial started for children aged 12-18.  The clinicaltrials.gov listing names us as a "sponsor and collaborator"! It should open soon.  
  



• Renowned Neuro-oncologist Joining Northwestern         One of my favorites neuro-oncs is coming to the USA.  He twice changed the standard of care for GBMs. Hopefully he will have more resources at Northwestern to speed up the search for the cure. I welcome him and wish him luck!  
  



• Help us better Understand Patient Experiences with Glioblastoma Multiforme         I am sending this out again as they still have a few more spots open.  It is an easy way to make $125!  We heard back from some of our members who tried it and they did get the money, and we also got a donation from them.
  



• Critical review of the addition of tumor treating fields (TTFields) to the existing standard of care for newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients.         General consensus is that Optune is now the standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM patients, and a good option for recurrent GBM patients!
