1 Brain Tumors A tumor that starts and grows in the brain is called a primary brain tumor. Primary brain tumors get their name from the type of cell or the part of the brain where they start growing. A secondary brain tumor is a cancer that has spread (metastatic) to the brain from another part of the body. There are many different types of brain tumors. Tumors are put into groups based on where they grow in the brain, the type of brain tissue that is affected and if the tumor is cancer (malignant) or not cancer (benign). Brain tumors can happen at any age and can cause different symptoms depending on their size and location. Glioma Tumors A common type of brain tumor in adults is a Glioma. The three most common types of gliomas are: Astrocytoma Oligodendroglioma Oligoastrocytoma More on next page Learn more about your health care.

2 Burooyinka Maskaxda Burada ka soo bilaabanta ee ku dhex baxda maskaxda waxa la yiraa burada maskaxda ee koowaad. Burooyinka maskaxda ee koowaad waxay magacooda ka qaataan nooca unugga ama qeybta maskaxda ee ay ka bilaabeen inay ka soo baxaan. Burada maskaxda ee labaad waa kansar ku faafay (metastatic) maskaxda oo ka yimi qeyb kale oo jirka ah. Waxa jira noocyo kala duwan oo ah burooyin maskaxeed. Burooyinka waxa loo kala qeybiyaa koox koox ku saleysan goobta maskaxda ee ay ka baxeen, nooca cad-yaraha maskaxda ee ay saameeyeen iyo haddii ay buradu tahay mid kansar ah (malignant) ama aanay ahayn kansar (benign). Burooyinka maskaxdu waxay sameysmi karaan da kasta oo waxay keeni karaan calaamooyin kala duwan oo ku xiran hadba xajmiga iyo goobta burada. Burooyinka Glioma Burada maskaxda ee caadi ahaan loogu arko dadka waaweyn waa burada Glioma. Waxa jira saddex nooc oo u caadiyeysan burooyinka gliomas oo kala ah: Astrocytoma Oligodendroglioma Oligoastrocytoma In kale bogga xigga Wax dheeraad ah ka baro daryeelka caafimaadkaaga.

3 2 Glioma tumors develop roots that grow into the nearby normal brain tissue. The roots are unable to be seen with a MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or any other type of x-rays. Gliomas are unable to be cured with surgery because tumor cells that are not seen will remain after the tumor is removed. This type of tumor can spread to other areas of the brain. They rarely spread to other parts of the body. Treatment options for brain tumors may include: surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. Your doctor will talk with you about the type of treatment that is best for you. Grades of Gliomas Tumors are graded based on how the tumor cells look under a microscope. A piece of the tumor will be needed to determine the tumor grade. Grading is a system used to describe how abnormal or aggressive the tumor cells look. The lower the grade the more normal the tumor cells look. The higher the grade the more abnormal the cells look. With treatment, a brain tumor may grow back at some point in time. Types of Gliomas Astrocytoma Astrocytoma is the most common type of glioma. Astrocytomas are tumors that start in the astrocytes (star-shaped cells that make up the glue-like or supportive tissue of the brain). Grades of Astrocytoma tumors: Grade I Pilocytic Astrocytoma is an uncommon slow growing tumor that is found most often in children. Grade II Low Grade Astrocytoma is a low-grade glioma. This type of tumor usually affects younger adults. Although these tumors are low-grade and less aggressive, they can grow with or without treatment which may cause symptoms and harm to the brain.
4 2 Burooyinka Glioma waxay yeeshaan xididdo ku baxa cad-yaraha maskaxda ee caadiga ah ee u dhow. Xididdadaas laguma arki karo sawirka MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) ama noocyada kale ee raajada. Burooyinka Gliomas laguma daaweyn karo qalliin sababtoo ah unugyada burada ee aan la arki karin ayaa maskaxda ku sii haraya marka burada la gooyo. Burada noocaas ihi waxay ku sii fidi kartaa meelo kale oo maskaxda ah. Marar dhif ah ayey ku sii fiddaa meelo kale oo jirka ah. Siyaabaha lagu daween karo burooyinka maskaxda waxa ka mid ah: qalliin, cilaajka shucaaca ama cilaajka kiimikada. Dhakhtarkaaga ayaa kaala hadli doona nooca daaweynta ee adiga kuugu fiican. Darajooyinka Burooyinka Gliomas Burooyinka waxa lagu qiimeeyaa sida ay u eg yihiin unugyada buradu marka weyneysada lagu fiiriyo. Waxa loo baahan doonaa gobol yar oo burada ah si loo ogaado darajada burada. Qiimeyntu waa nidaam loo isticmaalo in lagu sharraxo sida ay unugyada buradu ugu eg yihiin oo ah kuwo aan caadi ahayn ama kuwo weerar badan. Marka ay darajadu sii hooseesaba, waxay unugyadu u sii ekaadaan kuwo caadi ah. Marka ay darajadu sii sarreysaba, waxay unugyadu u sii ekaadaan kuwo aan caadi ahayn. Marka la daaweeyo, waxa laga yaabaa inay burada maskaxdu dib u soo baxdo waqti kale. Noocyada Burada Gliomas Burada Astrocytoma Burada Astrocytoma waa nooca ugu badan burooyinka glioma. Burooyinka Astrocytomas waa kuwo ka soo bilaabma unugyada astrocytes (oo ah unugyada xiddigta u eg ee uu ka sameysan yahay cad-yaraha aasaaska u ah maskaxda ee xabagta oo kale ah glue-like ). Darajooyinka burooyinka Astrocytoma : Darajada I Pilocytic Astrocytoma waa buro aan badneyn oo si tartiib ah u korta oo inta badan laga helo carruurta. Darajada II Burada Astrocytoma ee Darajadeedu Hooseyso waa buro glioma oo darajadeedu hooseyso. Burada noocan ihi waxay ku dhacdaa dhallinyarada. In kasta oo ay burooyinkani yihiin kuwo darajo hoose leh oo weerar yar, haddana wey kori karaan iyadoo la daaweeyey ama aan la daaweyn oo waxay yeelan karaan calaamado oo waxay waxyeeleyn karaan maskaxda.
5 3 Grade III Anaplastic Astrocytoma is a high-grade tumor. This type of tumor grows faster and is more aggressive than grade II astrocytomas. Grade IV Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) This is the most common type of astrocytoma. This tumor can affect people of any age, but are most often found in older adults. It is a more aggressive and serious type of brain tumor. Treatment is needed to control the growth of the tumor. Oligodendroglioma An Oligodendroglioma brain tumor starts growing in the oligodendrocytes (cells that cover and protect the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord). There are only two grades of Oligodendroglioma tumors: Grade II Oligodendroglioma This type of tumor usually affects younger adults. Although these tumors are low-grade and less aggressive, they can grow with or without treatment which may cause symptoms and harm to the brain. Grade III Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma This type of brain tumor is not common. It can develop at any age but it is most often found in middle-aged adults. This type of tumor is more aggressive and serious than lower grade tumors. Treatment is needed to control the growth of the tumor. Oligoastrocytoma An oligoastrocytoma is known as a mixed glioma brain tumor. It is made up of two types of cells, astrocytes and the oligodendrocyte These cells grow together and form this type of tumor. Talk to your doctor or others on your health care team if you have questions. You may request more written information from the Library for Health Information at (614) or health-info@osu.edu.
6 3 Darajada III Anaplastic Astrocytoma Buradani waa mid darajo sare ah. Buradani waxay u kortaa oo ay wax u weerartaa si ka badan burada darajada II ee astrocytomas. Darajada IV Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Buradani waa nooca ugu badan burooyinka astrocytoma. Buradani waxay ku dhici kartaa qof kasta iyo da kasta, laakiin inta badan waxa laga helaa dadka waaweyn. Waa nooc buro ah oo ka sii weerar badan kana sii xun kuwa kale. Daaweyn ayaa loo baahan yahay si loo kantaroolo koridda buradan. Oligodendroglioma Burada maskaxda ee oligodendroglioma waxay ka soo baxdaa unugyada oligodendrocytes (oo ah unugyada ku daboolan ee ilaaliya unugyada neerfaha ee maskaxda iyo unugyada xangulada dhabarka). Waxa jira oo qura laba darajo oo ah burada oligodendroglioma : Darajada II Oligodendroglioma Burada noocan ihi waxay inta badan saameysaa dhallinyarada. In kasta oo burooyinkani ay yihiin kuwo darajo hoose ah oo aanay weerar badneyn, wey kori karaan haddii la daaweeyo iyo haddii aan la daaweynba taas oo keeni karta calaamado iyo dhaawac maskaxda ah. Darajada III Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma Burada noocan ihi ma badna. Waxay ka soo bixi kartaa da kasta laakiin waxa inta badan laga helaa dadka da da dhexe ah. Burada noocan ihi wey ka sii weerar badan tahay oo ka sii xun tahay burooyinka darajadoodu hooseyso. Si loo kantaroollo koridda buradan, waxa loo bahan yahay in daweeyo. Oligoastrocytoma Burada oligoastrocytoma waa buro loo yaqaanno burada maskaxda glioma ee isku-qasan. Waxay ka sameysan tahay laba nooc oo unugyo ah, astrocytes iyo oligodendrocyte. Unugyadan ayaa isla kora oo wada sameeya nooca buradan ah. Dhakhtarkaaga la hadal ama kuwa kale ee ka mid ah kooxdaada caafimaadka haddii aad qabtid wax su aalo ah.
