GBM Treatment Info Presented by Dr. Lustgarten

On May 19th, 2022, The End Brain Cancer Initiative held our GBM "Know All Your Treatment Options" Educational, Advocacy & Outreach event. We had amazing speakers and among them was Dr. Leo Lustgarten, US Director for Neuro-oncology and Global Clinical Lead at Novocure. Dr. Lustgarten shared some incredibly valuable information that we would like to share with you in case you missed it! 

Dr. Lustgarten and his work

Dr. Leonardo Lustgarten, MD, is originally from Caracas, Venezuela. Dr. Lustgarten completed his residency in Venezuela, and then trained further as a neurosurgeon at the Radcliffe Infirmary at University of Oxford, UK and also as a visiting academic at the Neurological Institute of New York at Columbia Presbyterian. 

For over 20 years in Venezuela, as a neurosurgeon and radiosurgeon, Dr. Lustgarten performed surgeries on brain tumors, both in adult and pediatric patients, as well as stereotactic procedures. He is now the US Director for Neuro-oncology and Global Clinical Lead for glioblastoma trials at Novocure.
