[edit] should
should ganglioglioma be mentioned in the WHO grading system section?
- A few thoughts...
- I agree with the above unnamed poster. I think that there should be a reference to tumors of mixed glial/neuronal derivation such as ganglioglioma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors etc.
- Under "classification, by cell type" I think it's probably more correct to say that gliomas are classified by the type of mature glial cells that they most resemble. I think that there is increasing evidence that these tumors arise either from as yet unidentified pleuripotent glial/neuronal precursor cells or from glial cells that undergo some sort of de-differentiation to a pleuripotent state. As such, oligodendrogliomas are not nessisarily derived from oligodendrocytes. Genetic studies of mixed tumors generally show them to be a single clonal neoplasm rather than "collision tumors" as had previously been postulated. I think this is pretty good evidence for the pleuripotent precursor. --Jsonnen 17:06, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I've done a minor rephrase to try to accomodate, but feel free to edit further. --Arcadian 19:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Under "Experimental Therapies" it says "Only eight people have received this treatment and seven of them are still living." Could someone find out when these people were diagnosed, when they were treated and after how much time seven of them are / were still living ? --J-c 11:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Treatment for glioma stage 2
I would like to ask someone who knows what is the best treatment for glioma stage 2. Will it be okay if the patient will try first some medicines and what kind of medicines will it be? Before deciding to have an operation. My friend who has a glioma stage 2 say that he is afraid to have a surgery because of some side effects. So, will it be okay if he try first to drinking of medicines. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ecelisan (talk • contribs).
