Doctor David Fortin, a researcher on the Fleurimont Health campus of the CIUSSS de l’Estrie – CHUS, announced a new method and research study on Tuesday aimed at improving the treatment of glioblastoma, a rare and very aggressive form of brain cancer. The new approach being championed by Fortin and his team is a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but catered to the individual based on specific and focused testing of tumor tissue in the moment it has been removed from the body.
