Diffuse low-grade gliomas
Description : Diffuse low-grade gliomas (WHO grade II) are a sub-group of rare and heterogeneous primary brain tumors that usually occur in young patients living a normal life until the onset of a first seizure. A good understanding of the natural history of these gliomas namely: their steady progression, infiltration along white matter fibers and especially the risk of malignant transformation...
متن کاملTemozolomide for low-grade gliomas
CME ABSTRACT Objective:To evaluate the predictive impact of chromosome 1p/19q deletions on the response and outcome of progressive low-grade gliomas (LGG) treated with up-front temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. Methods: Adult patients with measurable, progressive LGG (WHO grade II) treated with TMZ delivered at the conventional schedule (200 mg/m/day for 5 consecutive days, repeated every 28 day...
متن کاملPreoperative prognostic classification system for hemispheric low-grade gliomas in adults.
OBJECT Hemispheric low-grade gliomas (LGGs) have an unpredictable progression and overall survival (OS) profile. As a result, the objective in the present study was to design a preoperative scoring system to prognosticate long-term outcomes in patients with LGGs. METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective review with long-term follow-up of 281 adults harboring hemispheric LGGs (World Healt...
متن کاملRole of extent of resection in the long-term outcome of low-grade hemispheric gliomas.
PURPOSE The prognostic role of extent of resection (EOR) of low-grade gliomas (LGGs) is a major controversy. We designed a retrospective study to assess the influence of EOR on long-term outcomes of LGGs. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study population (N = 216) included adults undergoing initial resection of hemispheric LGG. Region-of-interest analysis was performed to measure tumor volumes based ...
متن کاملRecurrence and malignant degeneration after resection of adult hemispheric low-grade gliomas.
OBJECT Unlike their malignant counterparts, low-grade gliomas are associated with prolonged survival. However, these tumors have a propensity to progress after resection and ultimately undergo malignant degeneration. The factors associated with recurrence and malignant degeneration remain relatively unknown. The authors set out to determine factors that were independently associated with recurr...
