	Glioma - Diagnosis and Treatment Options at Mayo Clinic
		Gliomas can be either benign (slow growing) or malignant (fast growing).
		Treatment for a glioma -- and survival odds -- depends on tumor type, size and location, and the patient's age and overall health.
		Gliomas can be complex, and there are a variety of techniques and procedures to treat them.

		Gliomas are tumors that grow in various parts of the brain.
		An optic glioma may also grow along with a hypothalamic glioma.
		Most optic gliomas are slow-growing and non-cancerous (benign) and occur in children, almost always before age 20.

		Gliomas are a class of tumor that develops from glial (neuroepithelial or support) cells.
		Gliomas comprise nearly one-half of primary brain tumors and one-fifth of all primary spinal cord tumors.
		Among patients with anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma, there appears to be a definite increase in survival in those patients who have had at least a 97% or greater resection of their tumor, and in those patients whose tumor is located in the frontal lobe of the brain, as opposed to the temporal or parietal lobes.

	Glioma » Know Cancer Network: Cancer News and Information
		According to a report in the August 15th Cancer Research stem cell-like glioma cells, taken from glioblastoma biopsy specimens, promote tumor angiogenesis by secreting levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) at levels ten to 20 fold higher than ordinary glioma cells.
		Gliomas do not metastasize by the bloodstream, but they can spread via the cerebrospinal fluid and cause “drop metastases” to the spinal cord.
		High grade gliomas are highly vascular tumors and have a tendency to infiltrate.

	Childhood brain stem glioma
		Brain stem gliomas are tumors located in the area of the brain called the brain stem, which connects the spinal cord with the brain and is located in the lowest portion of the brain, just above the back of the neck.
		If the brain stem glioma is in a place where it cannot be removed, surgery may be limited to a biopsy of the cancer.
		Treatment for recurrent childhood brain stem glioma depends on the type of tumor, whether the tumor comes back in the place in which it originated or in another part of the brain, and the type of treatment previously given.

		Optic glioma is a mass created by growth of abnormal cells, or uncontrolled proliferation of cells, in one optic nerve, both optic nerves, the optic chiasm or in conjunction with hypothalamic glioma.
		Optic gliomas cause symptoms by invasion (pressure) and displacement (destruction) of normal optic nerve tissue.
		Optic glioma and other astrocytomas are rare; however, astrocytomas in general are the most common primary brain tumors in adults.

		The overall goal of the Neuro-Oncology Laboratory is to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of gliomas through an understanding, exploitation, and eventual clinical translation of the principles underlying the molecular and genetic pathogenesis of these tumors.
		Although it is well recognized that human gliomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors, there are to date no pathologic classification schemas that reproducibly allow the identification of biologically similar tumors or predict for tumor-specific therapies.
		The lack of such a classification schema significantly limits the ability of scientists to unravel the molecular pathogenesis of different glioma subtypes and precludes clinicians from offering therapeutic options that are specific for a patient's particular tumor.
