behaving as mutated glial cells.
The mutated glial cell doesn’t die as compared with normal cell that has its own life span for new glial cell to be
born. The mutated glial cells such as oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, microglial, Schwan cell and
satellite cells are multiplying uncontrollably until such new growth of tissue becomes tumor. At the same time,
angiogenesis is present, this is the developing of new vessels to supply blood and nutrients for tumor to grow more.
The tumor growth can be found to any area of central nervous system, and causing COMPRESSION,
