This patient is one of the longest-known survivors of glioblastoma, IDH-wild type, with pathologic confirmation of glioblastoma at the time of her resection and no evidence of residual disease 26 years after her last treatment. She presented with multiple factors associated with long-term glioblastoma survivorship, including female sex, young age, high Karnofsky score, and multimodal therapy. This case shows that long-term survival after glioblastoma diagnosis is possible and likely mediated through a combination of individual, tumor, and treatment factors.
