Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type of brain tumor. It is non-genetic, rapidly forming, and the causes of it are unclear. The current treatment options are composed of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy - however are ineffective for long-term survival. The median survival of a person diagnosed with glioblastoma is about 15 months, and without treatment, the number drops to 3-6 months.

The Glioblastoma Research Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization founded to create a locus for all things Glioblastoma. With a worldwide approach, the Glioblastoma Research Organization partners with world-renown clinics across the USA and Europe to support the research development of treatment and innovative therapies for glioblastoma. Having a global network range allows us to not only connect those seeking information regarding glioblastoma with new treatments/trials, but also to provide a community of support for those in need.

The Glioblastoma Research Organization raises awareness and funds for new global, cutting-edge research to find a cure for glioblastoma. The purpose of the Glioblastoma Research Organization is to provide financial support to doctors and researchers around the world, that are working on developing cutting-edge technologies and clinical trials through research, to increase the rate of survival in patients, and find a cure for this disease. The funds raised will be donated to our partners annually.
