Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system that originates from glial cells, which support neurons in the brain. In the less aggressive, slow-progressing forms, gliomas are often found in children and youth. Glial tumors alone make up almost 40% of all tumors of the central nervous system. Low grade gliomas are less aggressive than others, but still difficult to interpret biologically.
