In images produced by MRIs, an irregular augmentation among a solid mass will indicated the presence of tumor. [3] However, the results of MRIs are usually ambiguous in defining the presence for this specific tumor. [2] In CT scans, the presence of PNETs will be indicated by an elevated density and an increase in volume of the brain. [2]
A central nervous system tumor (CNS tumor) is an abnormal growth of cells from the tissues of the brain or spinal cord. [1] CNS tumor is a generic term encompassing over 120 distinct tumor types. [2]

A nervous system tumor is a tumor that arises within the nervous system, either the central nervous system (CNS) or the peripheral nervous system (PNS). [1] [2] Nervous system primary tumors include various types of brain tumor and spinal tumors, such as gliomas, and meningiomas (of the CNS), and schwannomas (of the PNS) and can be either benign or malignant.

Neuro-oncology is the study of brain and spinal cord neoplasms, many of which are (at least eventually) very dangerous and life-threatening (astrocytoma, glioma, glioblastoma multiforme, ependymoma, pontine glioma, and brain stem tumors are among the many examples of these).

Many gliomas exhibit cells that do not exist in normal brain tissue and are not seen in glial differentiation. [1] Of these gliomas are astrocytomas, which is a type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spinal cord. The main role of astrocytes is to maintain brain homeostasis and neuronal metabolism.
