On SuperBowl Sunday, just like every day, some will receive a brain cancer diagnosis.
Of those, some will have the most lethal Grade 4 GBM.
The dx is jarring. The prognosis horrific. The impact will resonate beyond the patient to an entire network.

This news is about as bad as it gets.
The reaction of family & friends will confirm the gravity of the situation. A Google search will reveal the hopelessness.
That search, however, will likely fail to reveal the most exciting advance in cancer treatment.

Hi Anne, my husband was dx w/ a #GBM in May 2022. I'm confused by how you did a GBM story w/o discussing the most significant development ever for brain tumors.
Please follow up with #UCLA & #NWBO#DCVAX. Completed P3 last May, approved for UK Specials already &

is a personalized, nontoxic vaccine. It has given patients w/ a 10-18 month prognosis 9, 12, 16, 20+ years & counting with no addtl treatment.
My husband is a 52 yo firefighter and we are counting on #DCVAX to save his life. He doesn't have time for the treatment you covered

While I'm glad you covered #GBM tumors, you missed the headline. Instead of sharing the incredible successes of #NWBO#DCVAX and how many patients have gone 9, 12, 16, 21 years and counting w/ no addtl treatment, you focused on a Phase 2.

Phase 3 was presented last May. JAMA included in their journal and 60 top docs signed on. Plus the combo trial with Keytruda and Poly-ICLC is incredible.
#DCVAX is helping people NOW. It was created at UCLA and trials were conducted in the UK, CANADA, and GERMANY too.
