Learn about glioma, a brain tumor that develops from an abnormal glial cell. Find out the symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment options, and contact information for Stanford Medicine. Glioma is a growth of cells that starts in the brain or spinal cord. The cells in a glioma look similar to healthy brain cells called glial cells. Glial cells surround nerve cells and help them function. As a glioma grows it forms a mass of cells called a tumor. The tumor can grow to press on brain or spinal cord tissue and cause symptoms. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and diagnostic techniques of glioma and provides the knowledge and skills to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with gliomas. Learn about Glioma, its early signs, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment options to help manage the condition effectively.
