Diffuse midline glioma prognosis and treatment.

My friend was diagnosed in May 2026 with a tumor. Initially, they said it was in the spine and that if it was not operated on quickly, it could lead to paralysis. He underwent surgery, and about 7.7 cm of the tumor was removed. However, some tumor still remained. Later, doctors said it is located in the spine but is related to the brain. After further tests, they found it is a diffuse midline glioma. Now radiation therapy will start. Does anyone know about this????????can it be cured, or does it depend from person to person? What could be the life expectancy?
