Grading of Gliomas

Abstract

When Dr. Fields called some weeks ago to ask me to come to this conference and speak on the classification of gliomas, I did not have time to ponder on the request. However, during the ensuing days, as I thought about my presentation, I began to grasp the difficult task I had accepted. To talk on such a subject to this audience, most of whom have spent a large part of their professional lives grappling with brain tumors, is no mean undertaking.
