Epidemiologic and Molecular Prognostic Review of Glioblastoma (2014, background): “Many genetic and environmental factors have been studied in GBM but no risk factor that accounts for a large proportion of GBM has been identified and like many cancers are sporadic (10).”
Cost of disorders of the brain in Europe 2010. (2011, neutral): “, 2010) and are a diverse group of tumors with marked differences in etiology, treatment and prognosis (Bondy et al., 2008; DeAngelis, 2001; Wrensch et al., 2002).”
Brain Tumor Epidemiology: Consensus from the Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium (BTEC) (2008, background): “causes of glioma are therapeutic or high-dose radiation and possibly high-dose chemotherapy for cancers at sites other than the brain.(24-27) Genetic factors determine the degree of risk from these exposures.”
