Overview

Historical Perspective

  • Glioblastoma multiforme was first coined by Percival Bailey and Harvey Cushing in 1926.[1]
  • The suffix multiforme was meant to describe the various appearances of hemorrhage, necrosis and cysts.
  • The WHO classification dropped the multiforme and thus it is best referred as glioblastoma or grade IV astrocytoma.
