Glioma

Glioma is a type of brain tumor that originates from glial cells, which support and protect the neurons in the brain. These tumors can vary in their behavior, from slow-growing to aggressive. Gliomas can occur in various parts of the brain and spinal cord and are classified based on their grade, which indicates how abnormal the cells are and how likely they are to grow rapidly. Common symptoms may include headaches, seizures, or changes in cognitive function. Treatment options often include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, depending on the tumor's type and location.
