It is called a glioma because it arises from glial cells.

A glioma is a type of tumor that starts in the brain or spine.

History In 1864 German physician Rudolf Virchow was the first to describe an abdominal tumor in a child as a glioma .

In effect, when we give cancer patients antiangiogenic therapy here, an experimental drug for a glioma, which is a type of brain tumor you can see that there are dramatic changes that occur when the tumor is being starved.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute found that while cell phone use increased substantially over the period 1992 to 2008 (from nearly zero to almost 100 percent of the population), the U.S. trends in glioma incidence did not mirror that increase.

The conclusion of the IARC was mainly based on the INTERPHONE study, which found an increased risk for glioma in the highest category of heavy users (30 minutes per day over a 10 year period), although no increased risk was found at lower exposure and other studies could not back up the findings.
