Glioma shows diffuse infiltrative growth in the brain parenchyma. Even following the principle of "maximum safe resection", the residual tumor cells are resistant to adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and continue to invase and migrate in the brain tissue. This is the main reason for the recurrence of glioma and the dissemination in the central nervous system (CNS). As a result, understanding the mode of glioma invasion and migration can provide a new method for the treatment of glioma. This paper reviews our research findings of the invasion and migration of glioma during the period of Twelfth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development.
