Glioma
Glioma is an aggressive form of cancer that affects the brain and nervous system. It is one of the most common forms of brain cancer and can be difficult to treat due to its invasive nature. Symptoms of glioma include headache, seizures, vision loss, and weakness or numbness. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Advances in research and treatment have helped patients with glioma live longer and better lives. Early diagnosis is critical to successful treatment, as well as working with a multidisciplinary team of doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain or central spine that can disrupt proper brain function. Doctors refer to a tumor based on where the tumor cells originated, and whether they are cancerous or not. Brain and spinal cord tumors are different for everyone. They form in different areas and develop from different cell types.
