Defying the Odds in Recurrent Glioblastoma: Complete Response following Salvage Therapy with Bevacizumab and Irinotecan – A Case Report

Our findings, contextualized within contemporary evidence on re-irradiation (stereotactic radiosurgery/fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy) and combinatorial strategies (BEV with lomustine or irinotecan), underscore the need for further empirical investigation to optimize treatment sequencing in r-GBM. This case emphasizes the necessity for individualized multimodal approaches to improve outcomes in this refractory patient population.

Abstract

Our findings, contextualized within contemporary evidence on re-irradiation (stereotactic radiosurgery/fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy) and combinatorial strategies (BEV with lomustine or irinotecan), underscore the need for further empirical investigation to optimize treatment sequencing in r-GBM. This case emphasizes the necessity for individualized multimodal approaches to improve outcomes in this refractory patient population.
