About Glioma1
Gliomas are tumors that arise from glial or precursor cells within the central nervous system (CNS). The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification recognizes four general groups of gliomas, one of which is adult-type diffuse gliomas. These diffuse gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors in adults. The pathogenesis and prognosis of these tumors are tightly linked to mutations (or lack thereof) in the metabolic enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), and molecular testing is required for proper diagnosis. As of 2021, adult-type diffuse gliomas are sub-divided into only three categories:
Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant (CNS WHO grades 2-4)
Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p19q-codeleted (CNS WHO grades 2-3)
Glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype (CNS WHO grade 4)
