Glioma

Gliomas result in high mortality, but despite their delicate location, surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment. The need for concomitant, or follow-up, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is based on the individual tumour and patient characteristics. Clinical follow-up includes neurological assessment, cognitive evaluation and imaging. Other therapeutic approaches include steroids for brain oedema and anticonvulsants to control seizures.
