A glioma is a tumor of the glial cells. Glial cells are the supportive cells of the central nervous system; they help neurons, nerve cells, do their jobs. Glial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocyts, and ependymal cells, so gliomas can be astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, or ependymomas. Gliomas are the most common type of primary brain tumor, but not every brain tumor is a glioma. Because there are different types of gloimas and because factors such as patient age or tumor location can affect tumor behavior, two people with gliomas may have very different experiences.
