NEW FRONTIERS OF COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES IN THE TREATMENT OF HIGH-GRADE BRAIN TUMORS
It is with great pleasure that I announce the first video conference of 2025 that aims to shed light on complementary therapies for the treatment of glioblastoma and high-grade brain tumors. This is certainly a topic of great interest for patients, caregivers and also specialists in the sector. The video conference will see the participation of Dr. Alberto Laffranchi who was responsible for the MeTeCO Group (Complementary Medicine and Therapies in Oncology) at the Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori in Milan and Dr. Massimo Bonucci, founder and president of ARTOI (Associazione Ricerca Terapie Oncologiche Integrate), the first non-profit organization in Italy dedicated to the development and dissemination of integrative medicine in oncology, which combines conventional and complementary therapies for the treatment of tumors. The video conference will take place on Tuesday 17 June 2025 from 18:00 to 19:30. The event, the twelfth in the series, will take place in the usual way: it will open with a very short presentation of the volunteer organization Glioblastoma.IT ODV and its activities, followed by the intervention of the speakers and will end as usual with a session open to participants dedicated to questions and answers.

I hope you will address the need for patients to freeze their tumor for any possible next gen therapy like DCVax-L. So little is said about this important step, and if it is missed, so will the chance of obtaining the vaccine until you unfortunately recur. I believe the Musella Foundation has a quick infosheet for patients. Please share this on your website and also mention this in your video conference. I hope DCVax-L gets MHRA approval, as it’s been under review in the UK for 18 months since the company has submitted their application. Way too long, especially for a GBM patient that needs the vaccine NOW, not months or years later. Patients can’t wait.
