Key Longitudinal Associations With Risk and Glioblastoma Outcomes

Description

The goal of this observational study is to find out what factors affect the health and risks in adults with glioblastoma (GBM), a grade 4 brain cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do genetic and immune system factors impact survival and quality of life in GBM patients? * What occupational and medical history factors are linked to the risk of getting GBM? Participants will: * Fill out an online survey about their medical history and lifestyle. Participants will have the chance to give a blood sample (from the outer arm) for genetic and immune system testing. Blood samples will be given using a home collection kit provided by the study team.
