Summary

This study is collecting blood and urine samples from 200 adults with glioblastoma (a serious brain tumor) who are receiving radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if levels of two proteins, VEGF and MMP, can help predict whether the tumor will come back within one year. The goal is to develop better ways to monitor treatment response and personalize cancer care.
