MeSH Heading: Brain Neoplasms
Tree Number(s): C04.588.614.250.195; C10.228.140.211; C10.551.240.250
Unique ID: D001932
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001932
Annotation: coordinate with specific site in brain + histological type of neoplasm
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.
