Description
Summary:To present an overview of gliomas, review risk factors, and prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Published manuscripts and textbook chapters.

Oncology nurses caring for patients with gliomas can broaden their understanding of emerging research on glioma risk factors and how specific biomarkers can help define glioma subtypes and guide clinical decisions.
