A tumor springing from the neuroglia or connective tissue of the brain, spinal cord, or other portions of the nervous system.
A non-metastatic brain tumor of glial origin.
(glee-O-ma): A name for brain tumors that begin in the glial cells, or supportive cells, in the brain. "Glia" is the Greek word for glue.
A cancer of the brain that begins in glial cells (cells that surround and support nerve cells).
A type of malignant brain tumor.
general name for tumors arising from neuroglial cells; includes tumors from astrocytes (astrocytoma, glioblastoma, glioblastoma muliforme),oligodendrocytes (oligodendroglioma) and ependymal cells (ependymoma).
Any of a broad range of tumors that arise from neuroglia.
a tumor of the brain consisting of neuroglia
a brain tumor that starts in certain cells called glial cells, which are formed mainly from astrocytes
a general name for tumors that arise from the glial or neuroepithelial (supportive) tissue of the brain
a neuroectodermal tumor of neuroglial origin
a primary brain tumor that originates from the supportive cells of the brain called glial cells
a tumor made of glial cells , which are the cells that form the support structure for the optic nerve
a tumor which develops from the "glial"
a tumour originating in the supportive tissue of the brain or spinal cord
a type of primary (The portion of the vertebrate nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord) central nervous system (CNS
Cancer of non-neuronal brain cells.
a tumor of the brain/spinal cord that arises from any of several supporting cells (but not nerve cells) of the brain.
Tumors that arise from the supportive tissue of the brain. These are the most common primary brain tumors. Examples include astrocytoma, ependymoma, oligodendroglioma, and glioblastoma.
A brain tumor arising from cells that support nerve cells.
A tumor formed by glial cells.
Group of types of brain tumour from a range of cells called glial cells. These make up the supporting tissue of the brain. Over half of all brain tumours are gliomas. Types include astrocytoma, ependymoma, oligodendroglioma. There are also mixed gliomas which contain more than one type of cell.
pl. gliomata A tumour of the brain or spinal cord, composed of neuroglia, the connective tissue which supports the nerve cells and nerve fibres.
A general name for tumors that arise from the supportive tissue of the brain. Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors.
Any of the largest group of primary tumors of the brain that are composed of malignant glial cells.
Any tumor arising from glial tissue of the brain, which provides energy, nutrients and other support for nerve cells in the brain.
tumors that arise from the supportive tissue of the brain; are the most common primary brain tumors; astrocytomas, ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas, and tumors with mixtures of two or more of these cell types are the most common gliomas.
a brain tumour arising from cells that support nerve cells
A glioma is a type of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor that arises from glial cells. The most common site of involvement of a glioma is the brain, but they can also affect the spinal cord, or any other part of the CNS, such as the optic nerves.
