Brain Tumor

r is characterized as an atypical mass of tissue that arises from an

proliferation or division of cells [3]. The most widely used techniques

tifying cancers are CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

n statistical data, metastatic tumors are more common than original

t prevalent primary central nervous system (CNS)’s tumor, accounting

nd 80% of all malignant brain tumors [6]. Based on the pace of tumor

two types of glioma can be distinguished: High-Grade Glioma (HGG)

w-Grade Glioma (LGG). The most prevalent kind of primary brain
