Schomas DA et al. - The retrospective series of older patients suggests that intracranial LGG in this age group behaves aggressively. Pathologic sampling error failing to recognize higher-grade tumors does not seem to account for these poor outcomes. Aggressive management with maximally safe resection followed by adjuvant therapy should be strongly considered.

This review looks at a rare condition in older adults. Typically survival for low-grade gliomas is 5-7 years. These outcomes suggest low grade gliomas behave aggressively in the elderly (more similar to grade 3 or higher grade tumors) and likely should be treated as such. We recommend adjuvant radiotherapy with or without temozolamide chemotherapy after maximally safe resection.
