Central nervous system (CNS) are rare neoplasms with considerable heterogeneity and variation. The most common primary lesions of CNS are gliomas. A majority of the data about the demography and management of gliomas has emerged from the west. However, there may be considerable variation in the presentation, behavior, and response to treatment between patients in the western world and the Asian population. This article discusses gliomas with special reference to data from oncology centers in India.
中枢神经系统（CNS）肿瘤较为罕见，具有相当大的异质性和变异性。中枢神经系统最常见的原发性病变是胶质瘤。关于胶质瘤的人口统计学和治疗的数据大多来自西方。然而，西方世界的患者与亚洲人群在临床表现、行为和对治疗的反应方面可能存在相当大的差异。本文特别参考印度肿瘤中心的数据讨论胶质瘤。
