Despite great histological polymorphism, clinical features of supratentorial brain tumors are mainly limited to neurological deficit, and focal epilepsy and/or symptoms secondary to raised intracranial pressure. The treatment relies on surgery and radiotherapy; chemotherapy has not yet demonstrated its efficacy. Failures are explained by the limitation of neurosurgery, and by the toxicity of the radiotherapy that precludes the use of high dosages. Some good vital results are hampered by neuropsychic sequellae.
