SEOM clinical guideline of diagnosis and management of low-grade glioma (2017)

Abstract: Diffuse infiltrating low-grade gliomas include oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas, and account for about 5% of all primary brain tumors. Treatment strategies for these low-grade gliomas in adults have recently changed. The 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) classification has updated the definition of these tumors to include their molecular characterization, including the presence of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation and 1p/19p codeletion. In this new classification, the histologic subtype of grade I… Show more

“…Usually, astrocytomas are confined in the white matter, meanwhile the oligodendrogliomas are cortical-based tumor, but this difference is attenuated in the later stages ( Figure 2). Cystic components are not infrequent and low contrast enhancement could be observed in 20% of cases without malignant transformation [19]. Advanced MRI techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and MRI spectroscopy will complete the anatomical information, while the functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) will offer important data for surgical planning.…”

“…Concerning adjuvant radiotherapy, the recommendation is in favor of lower doses (45-50.4 Gy) which are equivalent in terms of results with the high doses (59.4-64.8 Gy) but with reduced toxicity. Relative to chemotherapeutic regimen, actual data suggest that the PCV (procarbazine, CCNU, and vincristine) formula is superior to temozolomide regimen in terms of overall survival for the treatment of DA IDH-mut, mostly in cases with codeletion of 1p/19q genes [19].…”

“…In clinical practice, multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the primary method of screening and diagnosis of gliomas. While gliomas are commonly stratified into Low grade and High grade due to different histology and imaging aspects, prognosis and treatment strategy, radiotherapy is one of the mainstays of treatment (Stupp et al, 2014;Sepúlveda-Sánchez et al, 2018).…”

“…Almost invariable transformation of LGA into aggressive anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and to secondary glioblastoma (GBM) is ultimately fatal. The timescale for transformation is unpredictable and the mechanisms causing them to become aggressive are poorly characterized …”
