Residual or Recurrent Cerebellar Low-Grade Glioma in Children after Tumor Resection: Is Re-Treatment Needed? A Single Center Experience from 1983 to 2003

Abstract

A 'wait and see' strategy is justified in patients with nonprogressive recurrent or residual cerebellar LGG after primary tumor resection. However, long-term follow-up with repeated MRI is mandatory in these patients to detect disease progression. Second surgery is indicated only in patients with unequivocal disease progression, as documented by MRI.
