Brain Tumour Research has announced a £2.6m investment to establish a centre of excellence at the University of Nottingham, which will focus on improving the understanding and treatment of glioblastoma. The charity said it hoped to find a cure for the deadliest adult brain tumour.

Author Sophie Kinsella opened up about her battle with a glioblastoma — an "aggressive" form of brain cancer — before her death

In 2024, Kinsella announced a new novella, What Does It Feel Like?, which follows Eve, a novelist who navigates life after she learns she has a brain tumor. Kinsella told The New York Times that she knew "even as I was going through this ghastly situation, that I might want to write about it."

A teen's 'exam stress' was actually a sign she had a brain tumor. Katie-Jo Bartlett, 19, said she would see "colors" on her exam paper, which would make her feel sick, and developed a "squint" walk and back pain.
