Abstract
Low-grade gliomas (LGG), corresponding to WHO grades I and II, are an uncommon and heterogeneous group of tumors, which include several distinct histopathological types and subtypes. Because of their rarity, acquiring adequate data on which to base therapeutic decisions in such cases is difficult. According to present knowledge, it is reasonable to consider radiosurgery (in particular, Gamma Knife surgery) as a therapeutic option for some LGG. Nevertheless, there is a clear need for multicenter cooperation in order to augment the currently scanty data.
期刊介绍：
Published since 1966, this series has become universally recognized as the most significant group of books serving neurological surgeons. Volumes feature contributions from distinguished international surgeons, who brilliantly review the literature from the perspective of their own personal experience. The result is a series of works providing critical distillations of developments of central importance to the theory and practice of neurological surgery.
