Outcomes in Reoperated Low-Grade Gliomas.
BACKGROUND Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) comprise a diverse set of intrinsic brain tumors that correlate strongly with survival. Data on the effect of reoperation are sparse. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of reoperation on patients with LGG. METHODS Fifty-two consecutive patients with reoperated LGGs treated at the University of Washington between 1986 and 2004 were identified and evaluated i...
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...
متن کاملDiffuse 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 کاملCurrent Management of Adult Diffuse Infiltrative Low Grade Gliomas.
Diffuse infiltrative low grade gliomas (LGG) account for approximately 15 % of all gliomas. The prognosis of LGG differs between high-risk and low-risk patients notwithstanding varying definitions of what constitutes a high-risk patient. Maximal safe resection optimally is the initial treatment. Surgery that achieves a large volume resection improves both progression-free and overall survival. ...
