PHOENIX — It's been five years since Senator John McCain died after battling glioblastoma. So, how much has treatment and outlook for patients changed since then? ABC15 went to the Ivy Brain Tumor Center at the Barrow Neurological Institute to find out.
Heather Knies has been going there for over a decade. She tells us she will never forget the start of her brain cancer journey. Dr. Nadar Sanai, director of the Ivy Brain Tumor Center, tells us he's realistic about what brain cancer patients are up against. "One way they've found to get to the tumor is through an IV in the patient's wrist, threading a microcatheter up the arm, past the heart, through their neck vessel to the very base of the tumor," Dr. Sanai explained.
