Standard of care treatment for low grade glioma

Standard of care treatment for low grade glioma

Is there any standard of care treatment for patients with low grade glioma? 

Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding treatment because of a lack of randomized clinical trials.

Recent data have suggested that high-risk (defined as biopsy/subtotal resection or age greater than 40) patients with low-grade glioma benefit more from treatment consisting of radiation followed by PCV compared to radiation alone. However, further studies and validation are needed.
