Doctors using the polio virus to treat aggressive brain tumors called glioblastomas report promising results. Sen. John McCain has this type of cancer, and so did Sen. Ted Kennedy. Of 61 patients treated in one study, 21 percent were still alive at the three-year mark. That's compared with just four percent of patients who received standard cancer treatment. Dr. David Agus, director of USC Norris Westside Cancer Center, joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss the treatment. He also weighs in on a study that showed flight attendants had a higher cancer prevalence than the general population.

While glioblastomas are difficult to treat, comprehensive treatment plans provide patients with the best therapies for the disease.

Glioblastgoma is a type of malignant brain cancer that belongs to the glioma disease group. It’s diagnosed in approximately two-to-five people per 100,000, but is the most frequently common brain cancer in the U.S.

Cases of glioblastoma can present treatment challenges for patients and doctors for many reasons, including their tendency to spread rapidly. Symptoms of these tumors include headaches from pressure in the head, as well as seizures, difficulty speaking and numbness and/or weakness in one side of the body.

Though difficult to treat, team approaches like those employed at Ohio State can provide patients with the best care from the day of diagnosis.


“These patients need multiple different specialists, and that care has to be coordinated,” Pierre Giglio, MD, says. “So, all those different services have to be linked together to afford best patient care.”
