About this Condition

A glioma is a brain tumor which arises from any of the glial cells of the brain.

There are many tissue subtypes that can categorize these brain tumors further, but tissue is required for that level of categorization.

Glioma tumors are either diffuse, which tend to have a worse prognosis, or localized, which have a better prognosis.
