The predominant therapy for glioblastoma multiforme is surgical resection. Adjunctive chemotherapy and radiation may be required. Supportive therapy for glioblastoma multiforme includes anticonvulsants and corticosteroids. Cytotoxic therapy for GBM has evolved due to the approval of temozolomide which is an alkylating agent for newly diagnosed GBM. Active agents include also the nitrosureas which include carmustine and lomustine, platinum agents, etoposide, irinotecan and PCV combination.
