Progress in clinical treatment of low-grade gliomas
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 5
Abstract
low-grade glioma (LGG) is a slow-growing primary brain tumor originating from glial cells. The overall prognosis of LGG is good but incurable. The vast majority of LGG will have relapses, and some even progress to high-grade glioma (HGG). The treatment of LGG is still controversial. The current treatment includes surgical resection, radiation therapy (RT), chemical treatment (CT), targeting and immunotherapy, but its effectiveness and safety need further clinical exploration. This article describes the treatment of LGG, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeting and immunotherapy, in order to develop an individualized treatment plan and provide theoretical strategies for maximizing the survival time of patients and improving the prognosis of patients.
