Glioma: A Common Type of Brain Tumor That can be Fatal
- Glioma is a common type of tumor originating in the brain, which is formed in glial cells. Glial cells are cells in the brain, which surround and support neurons in the brain including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells.
- Glioma can affect functioning of the brain and it can be fatal, depending on its location and severity of tumor
- Glioma is of different types: astrocytomas, brain stem gliomas, ependymomas, mixed gliomas (oligo-astrocytomas), oligodendrogliomas, and optic pathway gliomas
- Headache; seizures; numbness; weakness in the arms, the face, or the legs; and personality changes are some of the major symptoms observed in patients with glioma
- Risk factors for the development of glioma range from old age (more common in adults between 45-65 years of age) and radiation exposure to family history of glioma
- Various diagnostic methods are available for detection of glioma. Depending on severity of the disease, different types of treatments or therapies are suggested to patients.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Glioma Diagnosis Market
- Advancements in brain tumor diagnosis and growing prevalence of brain cancer are some of the major factors fueling the global glioma diagnosis market
- For instance, as per the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), around 23,820 adults in the U.S. were diagnosed with primary cancerous tumors of the brain and the spinal cord in 2018. Brain tumors accounted for 85% to 90% of all primary CNS (central nervous system) tumors in the country in the year.
- Combination of most advanced diagnostic scanning techniques and rising awareness regarding various types of brain tumors are some of the major factors responsible for growth of the global glioma diagnosis market
- Moreover, growing human exposure to radiations in recent times is leading to high rate of incidence of the brain cancer. This is another factor driving the global glioma diagnosis market.
Higher Costs of Diagnosis Hamper Global Market
- Cost of diagnosis of the brain tumor is very high and it is unaffordable for patients in several developing countries. This high cost can adversely impact the global glioma diagnosis market.
- Regrowth of tumor after treatment and surgery in several cases and adverse effects of chemotherapy are also projected to hamper the global market for glioma diagnosis during the forecast period
Primary Tumor Type Segment Dominates Global Market
- Based on tumor type, the global glioma diagnosis market can be bifurcated into primary tumors and secondary tumors
- The primary tumors segment can be sub-divided into astrocytomas, ependymomas, brain stem gliomas, oligodendrogliomas, mixed gliomas, and others
- The primary tumors segment dominates the global glioma diagnosis market, as primary tumors are more prevalent across the world
Low-grade Gliomas a Promising Grade Segment
- In terms of grade, the global glioma diagnosis market can be segmented into low-grade gliomas, high-grade gliomas, and recurrent high-grade gliomas
- Low-grade gliomas is expected to be the most lucrative segment in the next few years, due to availability of more treatment options and early detection of tumors of low grade
