Abstract
Radiotherapy has been a longstanding treatment option for low-grade glioma. Improvements in tumor control and radiation-related toxicity may be attributed to advances in neuroimaging as well as radiotherapy planning and delivery. The discovery of various molecular prognostic factors have aided in patient selection for radiotherapy. These prognostic and predictive factors may also play a key role in determining which patients are likely to benefit most from combined systemic therapy and radiation.Entities:
