Best Doctors for Glioma Treatment in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad

Some cells that make up the brain are termed as glial cells. The involvement of these cells in cancer is called Glioma. Therefore, gliomas are essentially brain tumors that can be categorized into grades based on the extent of the spread. In the early stages the symptoms are not apparent such as seizures, headaches, nausea and vomiting are experienced in an erratic way. There is no targeted death of the cells in the brain. The cell growth and division is slow and hence the rate at which it spreads is low. On the other hand in stages two and three, the aggressiveness with which the cells divide is high and it spreads more easily to other parts of the brain. The terminal stage is glioblastoma multiforme which is stage four of glioma. In this the cancer has already spread to multiple points in the brain and spinal cord.
