Emerging therapies for diffuse low grade glioma

James Wright, Andrew Edward Sloan

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Because of the intractable nature of diffuse low grade gliomas, which always progress into higher grade, malignant gliomas, there is increased interest in the use of newer and alternative approaches in addition to conventional approached including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. These emerging treatments include several technologies for thermal ablation and improved drug delivery as well as immunotherapy and nutritional or "alternative" therapies.
