Anatomic locations in high grade glioma
The treatment options and prognosis in gliomas could be determined by anatomic topographic location, beside different subtypes of glioma. The aim of this study is to find if any correlation between anatomical location of a glioma and the different subtypes of high grade glioma exist, and if this di...

The treatment options and prognosis in gliomas could be determined by anatomic topographic location, beside different subtypes of glioma. The aim of this study is to find if any correlation between anatomical location of a glioma and the different subtypes of high grade glioma exist, and if this differences exists, does this influence the treatment options in terms of surgery. To do this, a representative group of 318 adults with high grade glioma was used. The most frequent subtypes of high grade glioma were glioblastoma (76,1%) followed by anaplastic astrocytomas (19,1%), anaplastic oligodendrogliomas (2,2), anaplastic ependymomas (1,2%), anaplastic oligoastrocytomas (0,9%), and anaplastic oligoastrocyomas (0,3%).
