Radiation-induced spinal glioblastoma multiforme (original) (raw)

Radiation-induced spinal glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a rare but serious condition, often developing after radiation treatment for other cancers. This paper presents a case study of a 35-year-old female patient who developed spinal GBM seven years after receiving radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Despite initial improvements with chemotherapy, the patient's condition progressed over eight months, highlighting the complexities of treatment and survival rates in radiation-induced cases versus non-radiation-induced ones.
