1. Towards Novel Biomarkers for Low-grade Glioma
Abstract : Gliomas are common primary brain tumours that occur as low-grade (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG). Typically occurring in younger adults, LGG has an indolent course with a median survival of 5-10 years, but carries an inherent potential for transforming into HGG. READ MORE

2. Preoperative MRI and PET in suspected low-grade gliomas : Radiological, neuropathological and clinical intersections
Abstract : Background: Gliomas are neuroepithelial tumours classified by cell type and grade. In adults, low-grade gliomas are comprised mainly of astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas grade II. READ MORE

5. Cognitive Deficits Reflecting Diffuse and Focal Brain Lesions Caused by Slow Growing Brain Tumors - Low-grade Gliomas
Abstract : The overall purpose was to characterize the impact that low-grade glioma (LGG) – a type of slowly growing brain tumor – has on cognitive functions. Paper I was an in-depth analysis of cognitive dysfunction of patients with histological proven LGG. READ MORE
