Glioma brain cancer. Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a brain in axial section,showing a glioma brain tumour. Glioma is a common brain cancer,comprising about 60% of all primary brain tumours that originate in the brain rather than being spread from elsewhere. Here,the large tumour (upper centre,black) is seen in the cere- brum of the brain (blue/yellow). Gliomas form from glial cells which form the connective tissue of the brain. Brain cancers are dangerous because of nerve cell destruction and build-up of pressure as the tumour expands. Symptoms may include muscle weakness,and loss of vision or speech.
