In one study, researchers examined data from more than 13,600 adult patients who had glioblastoma multiforme, the most common type of malignant brain tumor, between 2007 and 2012. The other study analyzed data from more than 10,200 adults who were diagnosed with testicular cancer between 2007 and 2011.

Conversely, testicular cancerresponds well to chemotherapy even if it has spread to other parts of the body. The five-year survival rate overall is 95 percent.
