Gliomas: a review of an 11-year series

A series of gliomas is reviewed in an endeavour to establish the efficacy or otherwise of the various forms of treatment available. In general, it would seem that prognosis depends upon the activity of tumour cells and the anatomical relationships of the lesion. From the experience of this series it appears that wide resection, if this is possible, offers a longer survival time than any other form of treatment.
