Abstract

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis. Recent advancements in bioinformatics have contributed to uncovering the genetic alterations that underlie the development and progression of GBM. Analysis of extensive genomic data led to the identification of significant pathways involved in GBM, such as the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathways, alongside key genes such as EGFR, TP53 and TERT. These findings have enhanced our understanding of GBM biology and led to the identification of new therapeutic targets. Bioinformatics has become an indispensable tool in pinpointing the genetic modifications that drive GBM, paving the way for innovative treatment strategies. This approach not only aids in comprehending the complexities of GBM but also holds promise for improving outcomes in patients suffering from this devastating disease. The ongoing integration of bioinformatics in GBM research continues to be vital for advancing therapeutic options.
