A Clinical Study to Improve Brain Function and Quality of Life of Patients With Newly Diagnosed Brain Tumors (Gliomas).
Oligodendrogliomas in the novel edition of the Central Nervous System (CNS) World Health Organization (WHO) classification are now molecularly defined by isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)1 or IDH2 mutations and 1p/19q co-deletion. The prognosis of these molecularly defined tumors is to be determined in new series since survival data from older histology-based studies and population-based registries are confounded by the inclusion of 20-70% not molecularly matching subsets. Also, the optimal treatment is a matter of ongoing investigations. An extensive, but safe surgery is associated with improved
