Uncommon: Glioblastoma multiforme is an uncommon tumor with an incidence of 2-3 cases/year/100,000 people. There are no known preventive measures. You are worrying for nothing. see this for more information about GBM. http://www.webmd.com/cancer/brain-cancer/what-is-glioblastoma For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats.
