Chemotherapy for Brain Tumors

Gliomas are the most common type of primary malignant brain tumors in adults. They account for 80% of cases. These tumors have been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO), within a four-degree system. Glioblastoma (GB) is the most frequent type of glioma and is associated with a poor prognosis (WHO grade IV). The treatment for these malignancies requires a multimodal work team, which includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
