Malignant Gliomas: What You Should Know About the Brain Tumor Making Headlines
A malignant glioma is a tumor that begins in the brain’s glial cells. These cells normally support and protect nerve cells, but when they become cancerous, they can grow into surrounding brain tissue. Because they spread into nearby healthy tissue, malignant gliomas are often difficult to remove completely with surgery. Although they remain challenging to treat, advances in imaging, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and newer targeted therapies are improving care for many patients.
