| Popis: | Low-grade glioma (LGG) encompasses a diverse group of primary, diffuse, slowly growing glial brain tumours. The optimal management of LGG remains controversial and is usually based on a number of clinical prognostic factors. The decision to treat takes into account tumour size and histology, control of symptoms (e.g. epilepsy) and age of the patient. Treatment decisions must balance the benefits of therapy against the potential for treatment-related complications. |
