Sentences with phrase «glial tumors»
"Glial tumors" refers to abnormal growths or masses that develop in the glial cells of the brain or spinal cord. Glial cells are supportive cells that surround and protect the neurons (nerve cells) in the nervous system. When these cells start to grow uncontrollably, they can lead to the formation of glial tumors. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and they can cause various symptoms depending on their location and size. Treatment options for glial tumors may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Full definition
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and deadliest of the glial tumors because the cells reproduce so rapidly.
