Implication

Review reveals biological distinctions among central nervous system tumour subtypes in clinical populations, highlighting the critical role of accurate grading for effective therapy.

Key Points

Provide an overview of central nervous system tumour classification, grading, characterisation, and treatment strategies across primary subtypes.
Narrative synthesis of pathological classifications, biological characterisation, and clinical management approaches for central nervous system tumours.
Detailed examination of eight specific tumour subtypes: gliomas, ependymomas, oligodendrogliomas, meningiomas, medulloblastomas, schwannomas, gangliogliomas, and craniopharyngiomas.
Central nervous system tumours persist among the deadliest cancers due to distinct biological characteristics and severe procedural risks during intervention.
Accurate tumour classification, histological grading, and molecular characterisation serve as foundational determinants for guiding subtype-specific therapy and improving patient outcomes.
