Dear,
GBM parse is stage 4. Treatment depends on what type of symptom is there. if there is raised intracraneal tension some surgical manipulation may be needed. known palliative treatment is Radiation/ chemotherapy. though there are lot of claims by herbal management but none to these are till this date confirmatory. There is no immediate problem by Radiation therapy if it is advised by your doctor.
