It typically affects adults and is preferentially located in the cerebral hemispheres. (Adapted from WHO);

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A fast-growing type of central nervous system tumor that forms from glial (supportive) tissue of the brain and spinal cord and has cells that look very different from normal cells. GBM usually occurs in adults and affects the brain more often than the spinal cord.;
