CNS Neoplasm

Neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS) comprise a diverse group of benign and malignant tumors, with significant advances in understanding their molecular underpinnings offering promise for improved outcomes. Despite these advances, prognosis remains poor for the most aggressive form, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), particularly in older adults, where median survival rarely exceeds one year. In contrast, pediatric tumors like medulloblastoma have seen improved survival through risk stratification and refined treatments. Continued research in both preclinical and clinical settings is essential to achieve long-term control and potential cures. The integration of multidisciplinary care and close collaboration between clinicians and tumor biologists is strengthening the outlook for neuro-oncology, making the future increasingly hopeful.
