Glioblastoma, Spongioblastoma

Glioblastoma is the fastest growing brain tumor. It comes from glial (non-nervous) brain tissue such as astrocytes.

Glioblastoma grows rapidly and destroys normal neurons in the brain, leading to a progressive loss of function. The tumor also significantly increases intracranial pressure, causing headaches, vomiting and drowsiness in patients.

The prognosis for glioblastoma is usually poor because the tumor is very aggressive and treatment rarely produces positive results.

Spongioblastoma is a rare type of glioblastoma, characterized by the presence of cystic cavities in the tumor structure. Like regular glioblastoma, spongioblastoma is highly malignant and has a poor prognosis.

Gliobastoma and spongioblastoma are malignant brain tumors. They develop quickly and destroy nervous tissue. This tumor can cause permanent damage to the nervous system and a variety of severe symptoms, including symptoms of increased intracranial pressure.

Gliobastoma is the most common type of malignant brain tumor and the most aggressive form of glial tumors. Some studies suggest they can spread to other areas of the brain and even travel to distant organs such as the eyes and liver.

Symptoms of gliobastoma may include: -
