Natural history and surgical management of incidentally discovered low-grade gliomas.
OBJECT Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are rarely diagnosed as an incidental, asymptomatic finding, and it is not known how the early surgical management of these tumors might affect outcome. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients with incidental and symptomatic LGGs and determine any prognostic factors associated with those outcomes. METHODS All patients treated by the le...
متن کاملNatural history and surgical management of incidentally discovered low-grade gliomas Clinical article
1 Patients with low-grade gliomas most commonly present with seizures.6 These lesions are rarely discovered as incidental findings during brain imaging for unrelated complaints or research studies.9,11,19,29,32 It is not clear how to best manage incidental asymptomatic LGGs, although some believe that there is no benefit to early resection.2,18,23 However, a recent study has suggested that the ...
متن کاملFactors predicting progression of low-grade diffusely infiltrating astrocytoma.
BACKGROUND Low-grade diffuse astrocytoma (DA) is considered benign tumor (World Health Organization [WHO] grade II), but it has an inherent tendency for malignant progression, which is quite variable. AIM To identify malignant progression in an individual case of DA, we studied the clinico-radiological and immunohistochemical factors and correlated with progression of DA at a dedicated tertia...
متن کاملManagement of diffusely infiltrating glioma in the elderly.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Genetic, epigenetic, and expression analyses have refined the traditional, histopathology-based classification of diffusely infiltrating gliomas. This review summarizes these trends and implications for elderly patients. RECENT FINDINGS The vast majority of diffusely infiltrating gliomas in elderly patients share an unfavorable molecular phenotype, that is, telomerase revers...
متن کاملManagement 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...
