Treatments of Common Brain Tumors

World Health Organization (WHO) published an updated article regarding the classification of tumors of the brain. In this updated classification, brains tumors are not only classified based on their histology but molecular parameters are also incorporated in its classification. In this manuscript, we primarily focus on astrocytoma, meningioma, metastatic tumors, and pituitary tumors, providing a broad overview of some of the more common central nervous system (CNS) tumors. With a lot of clinical studies currently being pursued using immunotherapy, viral therapy, and molecular genetic studies, we expect to see significant changes within the next decade. To provide evidence-based management, it is extremely important to continually review the literature to provide the optimized patient care.
