Brain Tumors
(Astrocytoma or Glioblastoma Multiforme)

The most common primary brain tumors in adults are called gliomas. These are cancers that originate from the glial cells that hold the brain together (glial means glue in Greek).

Start with a review of brain anatomy and imaging  and then read the best sites about understanding these tumors. Then read the section on treatment of check out the NCCN guidelines. There is a section on survival and outcome statistics and a section on all other topics.

Other types of brain tumor, low grade gliomas and brain metastases are noted elsewhere.
