Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 8
Abstract
Glioma is the most prevalent primary intracranial malignant tumor. At present, the main therapy is surgical resection, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Clinical practice has demonstrated that chemotherapy is highly significant and widely employed in postoperative adjuvant therapy for newly diagnosed gliomas as well as salvage therapy for recurrent cases. In order to further standardize the chemotherapy process of glioma and improve the therapeutic effect, Chinese experts consensus on chemotherapy for glioma was compiled by relevant experts organized by Chinese Society of Neuro-oncology,which aims to provide clinical reference for colleagues during neuro-oncology practice. The consensus introduces the chemotherapy regimen from the perspectives of pathological knowledge related to glioma chemotherapy, patient management during chemotherapy, imaging evaluation,different grades of glioma, newly diagnosed or relapsed patients and how to combine other treatment strategies.
