Abstract
Gliomas are diverse and challenging primary brain tumors that affect an increasing number of adults annually. Although not curable, recent advances in diagnosis and treatment are making a significant impact on length and quality of life. This paper will address the recent advancements, modern management, and current opportunities in glioma diagnosis, imaging and treatment.
