About Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. It can occur at any age, but tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting, and seizures. Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme, can be very difficult to treat and a cure is often not possible. Treatments may slow progression of the cancer and reduce signs and symptoms. (Source MayoClinic.com.)
