Low-Grade Glioma, An Issue of Neurosurgery Clinics of North America (Volume 30-1) (The Clinics: Surgery, Volume 30-1)

By Guy M. McKhann II MD, Hugues Duffau
This issue of Neurosurgery Clinics, guest edited by Drs. Guy McKhann and Hugues Duffau, with consulting editors Russell R. Lonser and Daniel K. Resnick, will focus on Low-Grade Glioma. Topics includes, but are not limited to, Epidemiology and Molecular Epidemiology; WHO Pathological and Molecular Classification; Molecular Pathogenesis; Glioma Cell Migration and Heterogeneity; Clinical Presentation, Natural History, and Prognosis; LGG Epilepsy; MRI, fMRI, DTI, Molecular Imaging; Brain Mapping Techniques in LGG; Surgical Adjuncts to Increase EOR iMRI, Flourescence, Raman Histology; Mapping Cognition and Emotion; Extent of Resection; EOR vs Molecular Classification; Chemotherapy Treatment and Trials; Radiotherapy Treatment and Trials; Higher Order Surgical Questions; and Building a Glioma Practice.

Are you interested in expanding your knowledge about low-grade gliomas and their management? Look no further than Neurosurgery Clinics’ latest issue, guest-edited by Drs. Guy McKhann and Hugues Duffau. This comprehensive issue delves deep into the topic of low-grade gliomas – from epidemiology and molecular classification to brain mapping and surgical questions.

Written by leading experts in the field, this issue of Neurosurgery Clinics offers cutting-edge insights into the molecular pathogenesis of low-grade gliomas, as well as the latest in imaging and surgical techniques. The contributors explore the clinical presentation, natural history, and prognosis of low-grade gliomas, including their relationship with epilepsy.

One notable addition to the issue is the focus on building a glioma practice. This section provides practical advice for managing these complex patients, including information on clinical trials, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

One of the exciting aspects of this issue is the coverage of advanced surgical adjuncts such as intraoperative MRI, fluorescence-guided surgery, and Raman histology. These modalities can help increase the extent of resection and ultimately improve patient outcomes. The contributors also discuss mapping techniques for cognition and emotion, highlighting the importance of preserving function while improving surgical outcomes.

One of the strengths of this issue is the emphasis on the molecular classification of low-grade gliomas. The contributors outline how this classification can inform treatment decisions and predict outcomes. They also explore the complex relationship between extent of resection and molecular classification. This is especially important given that not all low-grade gliomas behave the same way and some may require more aggressive management than others.

Overall, this issue of Neurosurgery Clinics is a must-read for anyone interested in low-grade gliomas. The contributors provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the topic, including insights into cutting-edge techniques and treatment options. Whether you are a seasoned neurosurgeon looking to expand your knowledge or a resident starting your training, this issue is an invaluable resource for your practice.

Don’t delay – order your copy of this issue today and stay ahead of the curve in managing low-grade gliomas.
