Everything you need to know about glioblastoma without a gene mutation

What should you know about her?

This is one of the most dangerous glial tumors. This is due to the fact that it is rapidly increasing in size. There are no clear boundaries of its distribution. That is why surgical treatment can be significantly complicated.

What signs indicate glioblastoma without a gene mutation?

First of all, it is a serious headache , which periodically occurs for no apparent reason. There is also an increase in intracranial pressure. What other signs are there?

Drowsiness.
Dizziness.
Epileptic seizures.
Numbness in the limbs.
Visual impairment.

The problem is that often the tumor begins to give the first signals only after it has grown to a critical size. At this stage, it is not possible to cope with the disease using chemo-radiation therapy. Therefore, we have to rely on surgical intervention. But it can also be difficult due to the fact that it is difficult not to damage other important components of the brain during the operation.

What should you know about this disease?

It can appear in a person at any age. At the same time, the average age of a diagnosed patient is 64 years. A direct relationship has been identified between the appearance of glioblastoma and radiation exposure. Most often, this tumor forms spontaneously. Moreover, if Li-Fraumeni syndrome is present in the family, the risk increases.
