Brain cancer and other nervous system cancer are the tenth leading cause of death in US. Although brain cancer in pediatrics is rare. However, the number of new cases are increasing (12.7%) aged <20 years [1].
Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is a malignant tumor which originates from astrocytes. It is a rapid growing tumor that affects the nervous system including the brain and the spinal cord [2].
As the years progress, the incidence of GBM increases due to different risk factors like age or race, which is associated with poor prognosis [3].
The difference between adults and pediatrics in terms of survival rate is still controversial [4]. A study has shown that the average survival in GBM is 6.28 months after the diagnosis. Most of the incidences
