What is another word for glioblastoma?
Pronunciation: [ɡlɪˌɒblastˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Glioblastoma is a serious disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Although it is commonly known as glioblastoma, it is also referred to as a high-grade astrocytoma, a grade IV astrocytoma or a glioma. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they all refer to the same type of brain tumor. Glioblastoma tumors are highly aggressive and can quickly spread to other parts of the brain and spinal cord.

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with glioblastoma, it is important to seek immediate medical attention and treatment.
