The effects of tumor size and postoperative radiotherapy for patients with adult low‐grade (WHO grade II) infiltrative supratentorial astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma: A population‐based and propensity score matched study
Abstract:BackgroundThe update of 2018 NCCN guidelines (central nervous system cancers) recommended the risk classification of postoperative patients diagnosed as adult low‐grade (WHO grade II) infiltrative supratentorial astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma (ALISA/O) should take tumor size into consideration. Moreover, the guidelines removed postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for low risk patients. Our study aimed to explore the specific tumor size to divide postoperative patients into relatively low‐ or high risk subgroups an… Show more
