Abstract

Malignant gliomas are the most common brain tumor in adults. Each year, more than 14,000 new cases are diagnosed in the USA. Glioblastomas account for approximately 60–70% of malignant gliomas, anaplastic astrocytomas for 10–15%, and anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, anaplastic oligoastrocytomas, and less common tumors such as anaplastic ependymomas and anaplastic gangliogliomas account for the rest (Primary Brain Tumors in the United States Statistical Report 2007–2008).
