The neuropathology department is responsible for the histological and molecular diagnosis of the tumor tissue removed during surgery. Brain tumors are divided into four grades (I-IV) according to the WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system, with grade I corresponding to a benign tumor and grade IV to a malignant tumor.

In most cases, the so-called primary therapy is carried out when a glioblastoma is first diagnosed. In this case, the so-called Stupp scheme is usually applied. The decision as to which therapy is most suitable for the treatment of glioblastoma at the time of initial diagnosis is made by the treating physician depending on the tumor location, the size of the tumor and its extension, and the patient's condition. In this context, the Stupp scheme is a therapy scheme for the treatment of glioblastomas. MORE
