Low-Grade Glioma – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Low-grade gliomas, which include grade II astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas, represent a diverse group of primary brain tumors known for their diffuse and slow-growing nature. Among these, pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGG) are notably slow-growing infiltrative brain tumors that frequently progress into a more malignant state. They are the most common type of brain tumor seen in children and can originate from glial cells, neuronal cells, or a combination of both. This diversity is reflected in the locations within the central nervous system where these tumors can develop and the varying treatment outcomes, mainly when complete surgical removal is impossible. Low-grade gliomas can be further classified into subgroups, including pilocytic, subependymal giant cell, pilomyxoid, and diffuse astrocytomas. Additionally, two cancer-predisposition syndromes, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and tuberous sclerosis complex, are associated with an increased occurrence of ...
