Glioblastoma Risk: Radiation Treatment Increases Risk of Glioblastoma

Written by Keith D. Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, B.Sc. Pharmacy - March 10, 2010

  • Therapeutic radiation is associated with an increased risk of Glioblastoma. 

 
 Glioblastoma Risk: Radiation Treatment Increases Risk of GlioblastomaGliomas account for more than 70% of all brain tumors. Glioblastoma is the most frequent and malignant type. There is a tendency toward a higher incidence of gliomas in developed, industrialized countries. Many environmental and lifestyle factors including several occupations, environmental carcinogens, and diet have been reported to be associated with an elevated glioma risk.

In this study, the only factor unequivocally associated with an increased risk of glioblastoma is therapeutic radiation. Children treated with radiation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia show a significantly elevated risk of developing gliomas, often within 10 years after radiation therapy.

Notice, this risk is from therapeutic radiation treatment for another cancer. The occasional x-ray does not appear to be a risk factor for glioblastoma. To be on the safe side, I myself, do not allow doctors to do x-rays for screening purposes.
