Low-grade gliomas: The challenges of imaging

Abstract WHO grade II gliomas are a major challenge for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to their delayed anaplastic transformation. Today it is possible to individually characterize tumor progression from diagnosis to anaplastic transformation based on the many parameters identified in studies in the literature and the possibility of integrating these data into mathematical models. Early identification of negative morphological and metabolic factors, as well as treatment follow-up, help identify predictive factors of tumor progression, as well as determine treatment response to adapt management of this disease.
