What does piocytic mean?
"Pilocytic" refers to a type of growth pattern seen in certain tumors, particularly in the brain or other parts of the central nervous system. These tumors are usually slow-growing and have distinctive characteristics when viewed under a microscope.
What is it called when you are classifying tumors as to how far the disease has progressed?
STAGING The process of classifying tumors with respect to how far the disease has progressed, the potential for its responding to therapy, and the patient's prognosis.
How do cancer tumors spread?
Cancer tumors can spread through a process called metastasis, where cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system to form new tumors in other parts of the body. This can make the cancer more difficult to treat and control.
What is the difference between neurons and neuroglia?
Neurons conduct electrical impulses in the brain. Neuroglia are cells that support the neurons. These cells undergo mitosis where neurons do not. Brain tumors are formed from neuroglia cells because they mitosis.
What are the antigenic properties of malignant tumors versus benign tumors?
Malignant tumors tend to have higher levels of antigenicity compared to benign tumors. Malignant tumors often express tumor-specific antigens, which can be recognized by the immune system and trigger an immune response. This increased antigenicity is due to the presence of mutated and abnormal proteins on the surface of malignant cells.

Do Malignant brain tumors spread?
It is highly unusual for malignant brain tumors to spread beyond the central nervous system

What is the disorder of neurofibromatosis?
Genetic disorder of the nervous system, affects the development and growth of nerve cell tissues, tumors grow on nerves, and othe abnormalities.
What does piocytic mean?
"Pilocytic" refers to a type of growth pattern seen in certain tumors, particularly in the brain or other parts of the central nervous system. These tumors are usually slow-growing and have distinctive characteristics when viewed under a microscope.
What are Neurological tumor syndromes?
Neurological tumor syndromes are those in which patients are genetically predisposed and, therefore, at an increased risk for developing multiple tumors of the nervous system
What is a neuropathologist?
A neuropathologist is a specialized pathologist who is concerned with diseases of the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Often a neuropathologist is concerned with the diagnosis of brain tumors.
