The Oligodendroglioma

Oligodendrogliomas are a kind of glioma brain tumour. Oligodendrogliomas expand from cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells make a white fatty substance that covers nerves, called myelin. It helps the nerve signals to travel along the nerves more quickly. The treatment depends on whether it is a slowly growing type or a faster growing type.
