Symptoms Of Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma is a cancer that can occur in the brain, and less frequently in the spinal cord. It can be difficult to treat, and often will spread very aggressively. Glioblastoma comes with a variety of symptoms, including dull or throbbing pain in the head, seizure, loss of memory, behavioral and personality shifts, and overall neurological deficits caused by swelling and decreasing the functionality of the brain. If any of these symptoms occur in a patient, a doctor may test their motor skills and their ability to hear or see. Failing these tests may give clues about the disease, and following an MRI, CT scan, and possibly a biopsy, glioblastoma can be diagnosed. Even though the disease is very aggressive, it can and has been defeated using surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and medication.
