AB  - Tumors  of  the  nervous  system  are  the  group  of  neoplasms  that  arise  from  or  metastasize  to  brain,  spinal  cord,  meninges,  or  nerves.  They  include  a  wide  variety  of  histological  types  and  grades  of  malignancy  as  well  as  genetic  heterogeneity.  This  creates  a  diagnostic  complexity  that  requires  a  combined  approach  to  incorporate  imaging,  histopathology,  and  genomic  methods.  Treatment  is  based  on  morphologic  and,  increasingly,  molecular  data,  and  often  involves  a  multidisciplinary  approach  with  surgery,  irradiation,  and  chemotherapy  as  well  as  targeted  therapies.  In  spite  of  the  recent  advances  in  diagnosis  and  treatment,  prognosis  of  the  most  common  primary  neoplasms—high-grade  gliomas—remains  poor.
