OPTUNE HAS BEEN PROVEN TO
PROVIDE LONG-TERM QUALITY SURVIVAL
TO PATIENTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED GBM1,2
Patient-reported data collected per EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline and Months 3, 6, 9, and 12. The 30-question survey covered 5 daily-functioning domains (Physical, Cognitive, Role, Social, and Emotional).
The updated NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Central Nervous System Cancers now include alternating electric field therapy (Optune) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) following maximal safe resection and standard brain radiation therapy with concurrent TMZ as Category 1 recommended treatment for patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial glioblastoma (GBM) and good performance status.✱ There is uniform NCCN consensus for this recommendation based on high-level evidence.
"I was initially concerned
because I didn't fully understand what
it would be like. But, I overcame my
fears ... [and] in a matter of weeks,
I was at ease toting the backpack."
