High-Grade Glioma: Refined Diagnostics Steering Stratified Therapy

Zusammenfassung

An adequately sampled tumor histology that is evaluated by an experienced neuropathologist is the current international standard for the diagnosis of high-grade gliomas. We present the case of a 30-year-old female for whom clinical and radiological information dramatically changed the histological diagnosis. We suggest a new algorithm including these parameters to refine the accuracy of histological diagnosis both for standard treatment and centrally reviewed clinical trials.
