*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. | *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.

===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. | |||
