Neurosurgical Management of Gliomas
Gliomas are the commonest brain tumours. They are tumours derived from the three most common glial cells, the astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells, with each cell type giving rise to its named tumour i.e. astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma and ependymoma. Other less abundant glial cells give rise to rarer tumours e.g. subependymal astrocytes leading to subependymoma. Table 1 summarises ...
متن کاملManagement of optic nerve gliomas.
Seventeen patients thought to have orbital optic nerve gliomas when first seen have been reviewed after up to 12 years.

Seldom high-grade lesions arise in this location with ...
متن کاملManagement of patients with low-grade gliomas.
The accurate diagnosis and management of patients who have infiltrating low-grade gliomas is increasing in importance. Recent advances in molecular characterization, imaging, and treatment of these tumors underscore this current focus of investigations.
متن کاملMultidisciplinary management of adult low grade gliomas.
BACKGROUND Adult hemispheric low grade gliomas (LGG) cover a pathologic spectrum which has specific clinical, histological and molecular characteristics. The optimal management of these tumors is still a controversial topic in international literature. METHODS We evaluated scientific papers from the literature (Medline and Cochrane Library to date) and we compared the results found there with...
