Abstract excerpt

Adult brainstem gliomas (BSG) are uncommon tumors that constitute only 2% of all brain tumors. Due to its rare occurrence in the elderly (60 years and older), there is no literature discussing the natural history, prognosis, and best treatment strategy for malignant BSG in this population to our knowledge. We report seven elderly patients with malignant BSG and propose treatment strategies to manage these...
