Summary

This study looks at whether male hormones (androgens) affect the immune environment around glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive brain cancer in adults. Researchers will analyze tumor and blood samples from 40 newly diagnosed patients aged 18 to 55. The goal is to understand why men are more likely to get this cancer and have worse outcomes, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
