Brain Cancer: Peer‐Reviewed Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Brain tumors may involve either the spinal cord or brain, and include a variety of cell types that have different patterns of occurrence, different outcomes, and may have different causes. The most common types of brain tumors are gliomas, arising from structural, non-neural cells in the brain, and accounting for about 60% of primary malignant brain tumors overall. These cancers are frequently highly invasive. Meningiomas, arising from the covering around the brain or spinal cord, account for about 20% of brain cancers and are generally more benign. Specific types of tumors can also arise in the pituitary gland, the pineal gland, or the vestibular nerve.
