Abstract

Introduction: The treatment of pediatric intracranial low-grade gliomas (LGG) generally begins with maximal safe resection. Radiation therapy (RT) and chemotherapy are typically reserved for patients with incomplete resection and/or disease progression. We report long-term treatment outcomes and toxicities in a cohort of pediatric patients with LGG after RT. Methods: Thirty-four patients
