Glioma
MONDO:0021042A benign or malignant brain and spinal cord tumor that arises from glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells). Tumors that arise from astrocytes are called astrocytic tumors or astrocytomas. Tumors that arise from oligodendrocytes are called oligodendroglial tumors. Tumors that arise from ependymal cells are called ependymomas.
Also known as: glial neoplasm, glial tumor, glial tumour, glioma, neoplasm of neuroglia, neoplasm of the neuroglia, neuroglial neoplasm, neuroglial tumor

New imaging technique could reveal how brain tumors hide from the immune system
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study looks at how aggressive brain tumors (gliomas) suppress the immune system. Researchers will use special MRI and PET scans to track immune cells and iron levels in the tumor. The goal is to find better ways to measure immune suppression, which could help develop new tre…
