Svensk definition
Neoplasmer i de intrakraniella delarna av det centrala nervsystemet, omfattande hjärnhalvorna, de basala ganglierna, hypotalamus, talamus, hjärnstammen och lillhjärnan. Hjärntumörer delas in i primära , som uppstår ur hjärnvävnad, och sekundära, som är metastaser. De primära kan i sin tur delas in i godartade och elakartade former. Hjärntumörer kan också klassificeras utifrån den drabbades ålder, vävnadstyp eller läge i hjärnan.
Engelsk definition
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.
