Distinct molecular profiles characterize the spontaneous growth rate of IDHmt low-grade astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma, WHO grade 2

medRxiv Oncology | |

BackgroundThe life expectancy of patients with diffuse IDH-mutant low-grade gliomas (IDHmt LGG) WHO grade 2 ranges from 5 to over 20 years. Tumor behavior, including spontaneous growth rate, varies even within homogeneously classified subtypes of oligodendroglioma and astrocytoma. Risk-adjusted treatment strategies are needed to avoid therapy-related toxicities, without compromising outcome. The spontaneous tumor volume growth rate (TVGR) serves as a…
