17th July Holidays

To get involved in Glioblastoma Awareness Day activities, you can:

• Wear gray to show support.
• Share glioblastoma information and survivor stories on social media.
• Participate in local events or virtual campaigns.
• Donate to glioblastoma research organizations.
• Reach out to survivors with messages of hope.
• Educate friends and family about the disease.

Common symptoms of glioblastoma include persistent headaches, personality changes, nausea, vomiting, memory problems, weakness on one side of the body, seizures, speech difficulties, vision changes, and, in advanced stages, unconsciousness. These symptoms can vary depending on the tumor's location and size.

As of now, there is no known method to prevent glioblastoma. While certain risk factors like genetic conditions and exposure to specific chemicals may increase the risk, prevention strategies remain elusive. Ongoing research aims to uncover potential preventive measures, but none have been established definitively. Early detection and advancements in treatment are currently the primary focus in improving outcomes for glioblastoma patients.
