New studies from our researchers show glioblastoma patients who live farther from specialized centers are less likely to join clinical trials and may have worse outcomes. We are working to close that gap with telehealth, travel support, and more. https://bit.ly/47TqtIB @uofuneurosurgery.bsky.social
