Ed-32 * outcomes of pediatric brainstem low grade gliomas: a single institution series

DISCUSSION: This single institution retrospective study demonstrates excellent survival rates for children with brainstem LGG, with initial surgery +/- CT or RT, and effective salvage with CT. The efficacy of the well-tolerated chemotherapy in this series supports its role in the treatment of unresectable brainstem LGG, or in those which progress after initial surgical management.
