Summary Abstract: Glioblastoma is one of cancers with the worst prognosis. Because malignant brain tumors including
glioblastoma are relatively rare cancers, it is difficult to do a large-scale clinical trial and develop a new treatment in a
single institute. To improve the prognosis of malignant brain tumors, clinical and biological information of an individual
case should be accumulated and analyzed in detail. We accumulated many cases of malignant brain tumors in multi
institutions and developed the TRI (Translational Research Informatics) system based on data bases of clinical
information, radiological and pathological findings and the gene (microarray) and proteome information, etc. This
system is expected to analyze and forecast the therapeutic effect of an individual patient.
