piracetam and Glioblastoma

piracetam has been researched along with Glioblastoma in 12 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

Glioblastoma: A malignant form of astrocytoma histologically characterized by pleomorphism of cells, nuclear atypia, microhemorrhage, and necrosis. They may arise in any region of the central nervous system, with a predilection for the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, and commissural pathways. Clinical presentation most frequently occurs in the fifth or sixth decade of life with focal neurologic signs or seizures.
