Glioblastomas are impossible to completely resect and almost always recur at the borders of the resection margin.

- High rates of early-onset breast cancer (EOBC) in the Middle East, particularly in Oman, where over 50% of breast cancer patients are under 45 at diagnosis, raise questions about the causes.
- A study of 1336 breast cancer patients in Oman from 2010 to 2022 found no significant link between BRCA1/2 gene mutations and EOBC, as most cases lacked a family history of breast cancer.
- Despite the absence of a strong correlation with BRCA mutations, EOBC tumors exhibited distinct features like larger size, higher grade, and poorer survival outcomes compared to later-onset cases.
