文摘

Gliomas are one of the most common types of primary brain tumors and have remained particularly challenging to treat. This review illustrates a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of glioma and glioblastoma. We will review current advances in surgical approaches, novel imaging techniques, advanced molecular characterization of tumors and translational efforts for treatment. We will focus on current clinical trials as well as the pursuit of personalized or precision therapy. We will also comment on the importance of both quality of life of our patients and their care givers.
