Glioblastoma is the primary malignant tumor with the highest incidence of central nervous system in adults. Due to its high heterogeneity, strong invasiveness, blood-brain barrier and other characteristics, the therapeutic effect is not ideal, which seriously threatens the life health and safety of patients. In recent years, with the deepening of the research on the basic and clinical characteristics of glioma, the research of glioblastoma has been further developed. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, histopathological changes, imaging features and treatment methods of glioma in order to provide reference for the treatment of glioma.
