The Spectrum of Long‐term Epilepsy–associated Tumors: Long‐term Seizure and Tumor Outcome and Neurosurgical Aspects

Abstract

Tumors associated with long-term epilepsy should be removed early for two different reasons: high rate of seizure freedom and rare but potential risk of malignant tumor progression. The unexpected long survival of these astrocytomas should be investigated by using immunohistochemistry and molecular biology.
