What Type of cancer are Brain & CNS tumours? | Childhood Cancer | Children with Cancer UK
Brain and spinal tumours affect the Central Nervous System known as the CNS. They come from different types of cells in the brain and are classified according to the cell type and area of the CNS in which they began. Most CNS tumours start in glial cells, the supporting cells of the brain.
Cancerous brain tumours that start in glial cells are known as gliomas and include astrocytomas, ependymomas and oligodendrogliomas.
