Astrocytomas & Oligodendrogliomas
Diffuse gliomas represent a spectrum of infiltrative tumors with distinct molecular and clinical behavior. Understanding classification and surgical strategy is key to management.
Glioblastoma
Part 1 of the Glioblastoma series focuses on diagnostic foundations, including classification, radiologic patterns, common imaging pitfalls, wounded glioma syndrome, and histologic subtypes, discussed through real clinical cases. A major emphasis of this session is understanding why radiology alone can be misleading, how glioblastoma can mimic other pathologies, and how neurosurgeons integrate imaging with clinical reasoning in day-to-day practice.
Part 2 of the Glioblastoma series builds on the diagnostic foundations discussed earlier and focuses on prognostic assessment, treatment strategy, and evolving concepts in glioblastoma management, discussed through real clinical cases. Key areas of discussion include radiomics and advanced imaging features, how prognostic information is derived from clinical and radiologic variables, and how these factors influence surgical planning, extent of resection, and adjuvant treatment decisions in routine practice.
