glioma
Sign in to saveAlso known as glial cell tumor, glioma, malignant, glioma, malignant, no ICD-O subtype, malignant glioma (morphologic abnormality), malignant glioma - category, neuroglial tumor, malignant neuroglial tumor, malignant glioma
A glioma is a type of malignant tumor originating in the glial cells of the brain or spinal cord. Gliomas comprise about 30% of all brain and central nervous system tumors and 80% of all malignant brain tumors. Common subtypes include astrocytoma (cancer of astrocytes), glioblastoma (an aggressive form of astrocytoma), oligodendroglioma (cancer of oligodendrocytes), and ependymoma (cancer of ependymal cells).

A glioma is a type of malignant tumor originating in the glial cells of the brain or spinal cord. Gliomas comprise about 30% of all brain and central nervous system tumors and 80% of all malignant brain tumors.

==Signs and symptoms== The presentation of a glioma depends on the part of the central nervous system (CNS) that the glioma affects.
