Former NBA player Jason Collins, the first openly gay active athlete in league history, revealed he is battling stage 4 glioblastoma. The 47-year-old shared details of his rapid symptoms and treatment plans in an ESPN interview. Collins emphasized his determination to fight the aggressive cancer through innovative therapies.
A small study from researchers in India has found that a short course of an oral combination of resveratrol and copper was associated with reduced biological markers of aggressiveness in glioblastoma tumors, without reported side effects. Patients who took the nutraceutical before surgery showed lower levels of several key cancer-related markers in their tumor samples, and the approach targets harmful DNA-containing particles released from dying cancer cells.
