[Epilepsy-associated tumors of the central nervous system : Epilepsy surgery and oncological aspects].

CONCLUSION: Recent studies have shown that in the treatment of predominantly benign epilepsy-associated tumors neuro-oncological aspects should also be taken into account in addition to the epileptological considerations. In the case of malignant transformation epigenetic screening (methylation profiles) can help to classify the tumor entity more precisely. PMID: 26676655 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
