Number and frequency of gliomas relative to tissue volume by cerebral lobe
| Location of Glioma | Frequency (No. of Gliomas) | Relative Volumea | Frequency/Volumeb | Frequency: Volume Ratio Relative to Occipital Lobec* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontal lobe | 107 | 3 | 36 | 4.5 |
| Temporal lobe | 77 | 2 | 39 | 4.8 |
| Parietal lobe | 37 | 2 | 19 | 2.3 |
| Occipital lobe | 8 | 1 | 8 | 1.0 |
