*Low-grade gliomas [CNS WHO grade 1-2] are well-differentiated (not anaplastic);  these tend to exhibit  [[cancer|benign]] tendencies and portend a better prognosis for the patient. However, they have a uniform rate of recurrence and some diffuse gliomas may increase in grade over time and therefore calling these tumours benign is avoided.

*High-grade [CNS WHO grade 3-4] gliomas are undifferentiated or anaplastic;  these are [[cancer|malignant]] and carry a worse prognosis.

** [[Diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34-mutant]].
** [[Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered]].
** Infant-type hemispheric glioma.




===By Molecular profile===
Some tumors can only diagnosed after a specific alteration has been confirmed.


Examples are:
* Astrocytoma, IDH-mutant.
* Oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q codeleted.
* [[Diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34-mutant]].
* [[Diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27-altered]].
* [[Diffuse astrocytoma, MYB- or MYBL-altered]].
* CNS tumour with BCOR internal tandem duplication.
