Diffuse Low-Grade Gliomas in Adults Natural History, Interaction with the Brain, and New Individualized Therapeutic Strategies /

The biology, behavior and management of diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) in adults have been matters of controversy for many decades.� However, recent technical and conceptual advances in genetics, imaging and treatments have paved the way towards individualized management. In addition, advancing kn...
