The Glioblastoma Tumor & the Way It Operates

By Rob Sutter


I feel like brain cancer awareness is slowly rising and I think it's great that more and more people are becoming wise on the issue. This type of cancer is seen as the most difficult to cure and that's why certain organizations work to make something happen. The glioblastoma tumor is viewed as the most aggressive and treatment, once again, is hard to pinpoint. Companies work in order to raise the awareness of it, but the truth isn't something to ignore.

Brain tumors are, by nature, difficult to cure because there are so many types. With over 120 types in existence, a solid treatment is especially hard to come by and the glioblastoma tumor is no exception to the rule. This form of tumor, however, is very malignant and it constantly festers due to several cell types existing within it. It thrives off of a healthy blood supply and organizations such as Voices Against Brain Cancer work tirelessly to bring this ailment to rest.

It's difficult to ignore just how many types of tumors there are, but there are surprisingly only two forms of glioblastomas in existence. These are broken down into the primary and secondary forms. Also known as the de novo form, the primary form makes itself apparent more quickly and is seen as the more aggressive of the two. The secondary tumor differs in its rate of growth since it's a slower burn but is as every bit detrimental. These account for around 10% of glioblastomas and they are typically found in people 45 years old or younger.

Perhaps the best ways to detect these very tumors is to see just how your head feels over a stretch of time. An increased amount of pressure on the brain could lead into symptoms like headaches, vomiting, and some others. There are also secondary symptoms depending on where on the brain tumor exists, such as memory or speech loss. This is the kind of tumor which can impact a person constantly, but you should know that awareness is continuing on.

Organizations like VABC constantly put forth public events in order to raise awareness further and bring support to a cause that many people believe in. On December 2nd, for example, the organization will host the annual "Join the Voices! Run/Walk" in Central Park. With a five-mile run, scenic walk, and fun for the family being present, there's no question that everyone can get involved. These very people can help the research grow.
