Overview
Glioblastoma multiforme is the the most common adult primary intracranial neoplasm worldwide.[1] The incidence of glioblastoma multiforme is estimated to be 3.2 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[2] Glioblastoma multiforme is a common disease that tends to affect older adult and elderly population. The median age at diagnosis is 64 years.[2] Males are more commonly affected with glioblastoma multiforme than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.5:1. Glioblastoma multiforme usually affects individuals of the caucasian race.
