The low grade glioma (LGG) is a type of brain tumor which is generally more common in younger age group patients. Most patients with LGG undergo surgery which is mostly incomplete due to concern about loss of function. This is an incurable disease. More than half of these patients progress to a higher grade with a worse outcome within five years of their diagnosis and only one-third survive for up to ten years. Post-operative radiation treatment improves local control without survival advantage. Efforts are being made without great success to select the patients with a higher risk of progression based on physical characteristics and histological features.
