Management of Low-Grade Glioma
The optimal management of patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) is controversial. The controversy largely stems from the lack of well-designed clinical trials with adequate follow-up to account for the relatively long progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with LGG. Nonetheless, the literature increasingly suggests that expectant management is no longer optimal. Rather, there...

متن کاملTargeted therapy in pediatric low-grade glioma.
Collectively, pediatric low-grade gliomas account for most brain tumors reported in children. Surgery is typically curable for operable lesions. However, more effective therapies are required for inaccessible tumors, both to overcome refractory disease and to minimize the toxicity associated with conventional adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimens. Recent years have witnessed rapid imp...
متن کاملDemyelination or low-grade glioma? A diagnostic dilemma.
BACKGROUND Demyelination is a neurologic disease, usually diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptomatology and radiologic studies. Rarely, both may be deceiving and masquerading a neoplastic lesion or vice versa. CASE DESCRIPTION In the present communication, we describe 2 cases with similar clinical profiles and radiologic pictures, but which turn out to be contrasting pathologic diagnoses....
متن کاملA new concept of diffuse (low-grade) glioma surgery.
Preservation and even improvement of the quality of life is currently a priority in surgery for gliomas, in addition to the optimization of the extent of resection with significant increase of the overall survival. In this setting, the goal of the present review is to revisit technical aspects of glioma surgery in the lights of new concepts both in the fields of neurooncology and cognitive neur...
