Glioma
Tumour of the glial cells of the brain or spine / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A glioma is a type of primary tumor that starts in the glial cells of the brain or spinal cord. They are cancerous but some are extremely slow to develop.[2][3] Gliomas comprise about 30 percent of all brain tumors and central nervous system tumours, and 80 percent of all malignant brain tumours.[4]
