Glioblastoma is a rare but deadly brain-tumor with until now absolutely minimal chances of survival - indeed longtime survival is so rare that it is described in this scientific article
A very rare case report of long-term survival: A patient operated on in 1994 of glioblastoma multiforme and currently in perfect health
Until now patients have been referred to a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and....
The results have been very disappointing
This might change now with new technology:

The really interesting part is not the possibility to cure those poor patients, at least not from an investor-point of view - but more that the technology might be put to use in other kinds of cancers - such as small-cell-lung-cancer and pancreatic cancer for which the market opportunities are easier to estimate. In 2020 the USA market was around 2,4 billion dollars with a steady growth. The lung-cell cancer market exceed 6,3 billion (also growing) - so the possibilities are enormous (but so is competition)
The patient mentioned in Enochian Biosciences report is danish, I am aware that there is currently discussing between him and Danish national Broadcast (public service) about stepping forward and telling his story.
