All brain and CNS tumours combined; glioblastoma is roughly half of malignant gliomas and GLOBOCAN does not report grade or IDH status.
Country-level death counts mix every stage, subtype and year of diagnosis, and reflect access to screening and treatment as much as the disease. Survival differs by stage, subtype and year; the cancer page above leads with what can be done.

These are the things we can measure; they are not a ranking of quality. Each column is a field on the institution record or a count over what OnCo has linked; a centre that treats many patients with Glioma & glioblastoma but is thinly recorded here will look small.
Not known: OnCo holds no case-volume or outcome figures for centres, so none are shown. Where a national audit or registry publishes them, the centre's page links to it. Default order: Newsweek rank, then trials for this cancer, then research output.
71 centres are named on one of the types below rather than on Glioma & glioblastoma itself. Grouped by the type that holds them; the full table for each sits on that type's page.
