Descriptor neoplasias cerebrales
Entry term(s) cáncer cerebral
cáncer del cerebro

tumores del cerebro
tumores primarios malignos del cerebro
Scope note: Neoplasias de los componentes intracraneales del sistema nervioso central, como los hemisferios cerebrales, ganglios basales, hipotálamo, tronco cerebral y cerebelo. Las neoplasias cerebrales se subdividen en primarias (originadas a partir del tejido cerebral) y secundarias (es decir, metastásicas). Las neoplasias primarias se subdividen en benignas y malignas. En general, los tumores cerebrales pueden clasificarse también según la edad de aparición, el tipo histológico, y el área del cerebro en la que se localizan.

Scope note: Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
