4. Survival Rates For Glioblastoma Are Increasing
Glioblastoma is affecting an increasing number of people year on year but the good thing nowadays is that the survival rate for people affected by glioblastoma is increasing at a fast rate. As a cure for glioblastoma is still to be found, it’s imperative that medical practitioners work hard to ensure that those affected by glioblastoma cancer continue to live longer and longer. Healthgrades USA state that there is a remarkable increase in the survival rates for glioblastoma.
In the early 1990s, anyone who was diagnosed with glioblastoma has 8 to 15 months of survival. That has since increased as data from the past five years show that anyone diagnosed with glioblastoma can survive for a period of 18 months or over. The worrying factor, however, comes with the 5 year survival period. Healthgrades USA state that only 4 percent of the people diagnosed with glioblastoma survive for 5+ years.
