GLIAL TUMORS OF THE BRAIN: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND PROSPECTS FOR TREATMENT

Abstract

Abstract. A broad review of literature data on the treatment of glial brain tumors is presented. Along with well-known approaches to surgical treatment, emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of local action on tumor tissue. Particular attention is paid to molecular genetic studies, the study of clinical and morphological features of glioma progression and the role of viruses in the development of the pathological process. The possibilities of therapy for glial tumors at the cellular level are considered.
