Initial diagnosis of GBM based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) findings diagnosis, however definitive confirmed by the histopathological examination of the intraoperatively removed tumor or its parts, using traditional histological, cytologic and histochemical methods .The associations between known potential risk factors of GBM and the GBM risk was assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis models. Results: The application of logistic regression model showed that higher Socio-Economic Status (SES) (p=0.032, OR=3.79, 95% CI=1.36-8.61), previous infection with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) (p=0.048, OR=3.11,...
