Ten guides written for patients and families, not for specialists. Each starts with the short answer, states where the evidence is thin, and links to its sources. They are reviewed by Prof. Youwen He, MD, PhD, and updated when the facts change. We run a treatment program in China and say so where it is relevant; the guides are written to be useful whether or not you ever contact us.

A practical checklist for the first two weeks after a glioblastoma diagnosis: the reports to collect, the questions to ask, tissue banking, second opinions and how to use the time before radiotherapy starts.
What IDH status, MGMT promoter methylation, EGFR, TERT and CDKN2A/B mean on a glioblastoma pathology report, how the 2021 WHO classification changed the diagnosis, and which results change treatment.
The standard glioblastoma treatment pathway step by step: maximal safe surgery, six weeks of radiotherapy with daily temozolomide, six monthly cycles of temozolomide, and tumor-treating fields, with what each step does and what to expect.
How to interpret the statistics used for glioblastoma treatments: median overall survival, progression-free survival, two-year survival, Kaplan-Meier curves, historical and external controls, and the traps in comparing one treatment with another.
What can be done when glioblastoma comes back: confirming true progression, second surgery, re-irradiation, lomustine, bevacizumab, regorafenib, clinical trials, immunotherapy programs and supportive care, with what each offers.
How therapeutic cancer vaccines for glioblastoma work, the difference between lysate-loaded dendritic-cell vaccines, peptide vaccines, mRNA-loaded dendritic cells and mRNA-LNP vaccines, what the trials have shown so far, and what remains unproven.
A step-by-step method for finding glioblastoma clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov and other registries, understanding phases, eligibility windows and randomization, and deciding whether a trial is right for you.
A checklist for families considering glioblastoma treatment in another country: regulatory basis, who treats you, tissue requirements, timing with standard care, what results exist, costs, continuity with your home doctors and what happens if things go wrong.
How the cost of glioblastoma treatment abroad is built up: medical fees, hospital days, surgery, radiotherapy, vaccine manufacturing, imaging, living costs, travel and interpreting, with typical ranges, what insurance covers, and how to read an estimate.
Practical guidance for patients and families during glioblastoma treatment: managing dexamethasone, anti-seizure medication, fatigue and cognition, driving and work, nutrition, caregiver organization, and the follow-up MRI schedule.
Send the patient's records for a remote review. A coordinator confirms receipt within one business day; the multidisciplinary team's report and a written estimate follow in about a week, before any decision or payment.
