To ensure your generosity and support are acknowledged, Sandra’s family has requested that memorial contributions be made through IN MEMORY OF to the
Glioblastoma Foundation
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of tumor that arises in the brain and the current standard of care (consisting of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) is ineffective, with the median survival of a person diagnosed being about 15 months. Although radiation and chemotherapy prolong life, they greatly reduce quality of life—so much so, in fact, that some patients opt out of treatment. The purpose of Glioblastoma Foundation is to transform the standard of care for glioblastoma by supporting the development of drug therapies for glioblastoma. Researchers have found that each glioblastoma is different, and as such a targeted approach to therapy may be necessary. Multiple drugs will inevitably be needed to block the many molecular signaling pathways present in glioblastoma, thereby disabling the cellular machinery that allows tumors to recur. Glioblastoma Foundation focuses on supporting the development of targeted therapies, those based on the molecular features of each tumor.
