Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Older age has been associated with worse outcomes in low-grade gliomas (LGGs). Given their rarity in the older population, determining optimal treatment plans and patient outcomes remains difficult. OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively study LGG survival outcomes in an older population stratified by molecular genetic profiles. METHODS: We included patients age ≥40 yr with pathologically confirmed World...
