Hi cococat :)
That is a very good question. I have found some information about glioblastomas on our website here as well as general causes of brain tumours here if you want to have a read. There is some useful information about glioblastomas on the brain tumour charity website as well.
Do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call if you want to discuss this in more detail. They are available Monday - Friday, 9a.m-5p.m on 0808 800 4040 which is free to call from a UK landline.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

My father has gbm4 and due to the rarity of the disease I really don't think it can be pin pointed to anything.
Some folk suggest that mobile phone use could be a cause but then a lot more of the population would be susceptible.
its tough looking for answers when the professionals don't even have a clue!
