| ==Classification & Grading==
| |
| | |
| The WHO grading of CNS tumors establishes a malignancy scale based on histologic features of the tumor. The histologic grades are as follows:
| |
| | |
| *'''WHO grade I''' includes lesions with low proliferative potential, a frequently discrete nature, and the possibility of cure following surgical resection alone.
| |
| | |
| *'''WHO grade II''' includes lesions that are generally infiltrating and low in mitotic activity but recur. Some tumor types tend to progress to higher grades of malignancy.
| |
| | |
| *'''WHO grade III''' includes lesions with histologic evidence of malignancy, generally in the form of mitotic activity, clearly expressed infiltrative capabilities, and anaplasia.
| |
| | |
| *'''WHO grade IV''' includes lesions that are mitotically active, necrosis-prone, and generally associated with a rapid preoperative and postoperative evolution of disease.

| ==Brain Tumors in Adult Population==
| |
| | |
| === Neuroepithelial tumors===
| |
| ==== Glial tumors====
| |
| * Astrocytic tumors: An increased risk of astrocytic tumors has been observed in patients who receive therapeutic radiation therapy for pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngioma, pineal parenchymal tumors, germinoma, and tinea capitis. In addition, children who receive prophylactic radiation therapy of the CNS for acute lymphoblastic leukemia have an increased risk of developing astrocytomas. Recurrent lesions often signal histologic progression to a higher grade; this malignant progression is associated with a cumulative acquisition of multiple genetic alterations.
