Malignant Glioma

What is malignant glioma?

Ted Kennedy was diagnosed today with malignant glioma. A brief search for this subject seems to indicate the news is not good.

In fact, a diagnosis of malignant glioma could be considered very bad news.

A malignant glioma kills half its victims within a year and patients rarely survive more than three years. Even surgery cannot cure such a tumour, which sends fingers of cancerous cells into nooks and crannies of the brain, doctors agreed.

"Glioma is not a specific type of cancer. It is a general category of brain tumour that includes astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. About 42 percent of all brain tumours, including benign ones, are gliomas," the American Cancer Society said in a statement.
