CACA guidelines for holistic integrative management of glioma

Abstract

Glioma of the brain is a kind of tumor originating from neuroglial cells. It is the most common primary intracranial tumor, accounting for ~ 30% of all central nervous system tumors and 80% of malignant brain tumors. Glioma is characterized by high disability and recurrence rates. The disease seriously threatens the life of patients, affects their quality of life, and brings a heavy economic and psychological burden to patients, families, and society.With the progression of molecular genetic testing technology and the completion of various clinical trials, the classification scheme for glioma is increasingly well established. Diagnosis and treatment regimens, including traditional and new regimens, are becoming increasingly specialized and standardized. The purpose is to develop a clinical diagnosis and treatment guideline for glioma in the Chinese population suitable for Chinese doctors and the general population based on domestic and international glioma research progress. Thus, domestic practitioners in the field can obtain current information and provide better service to patients with glioma, promoting the development of domestic clinical medicine and basic research on glioma.
