Webinar: Horizons in Neuro-Oncology – The management of older and frailer patients with GBM

Event Notes:

The management of older and frailer patients with GBM – are we offering the right treatment to the right patient?

Presented by Dr. Cressida Lorimer (Clinical Oncologist, Brighton)

We recently completed the multicentre BRITER study, a prospective imaging study looking at using baseline MRI scans to predict changes in quality of life for older patients undergoing radiotherapy for newly diagnosed GBM. I will cover an overview of the evidence behind the treatment strategies for older and frailer patients with GBM, the increase in interest in the use of geriatric assessment techniques in this cohort and the results of the BRITER study.
