Primary Brain Tumors (High Grade Gliomas)
Primary brain tumors, also known as high-grade gliomas, are tumors that originate from cells in the brain. These tumors are classified as high-grade because they grow quickly and have a high likelihood of spreading to other parts of the brain or spinal cord.
