Brainstem gliomas are a diverse group of tumors, primarily affecting children. Recent research highlights distinct subtypes with varying prognoses and treatment strategies, differentiating pediatric from adult cases.

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric oncology
  • Neurosurgery

Context:

  • Brainstem gliomas represent 10-20% of pediatric brain neoplasms.
  • Historically viewed as a single entity, brainstem gliomas are now recognized as heterogeneous.
  • Recent focus on adult brainstem gliomas contrasts with extensive pediatric research.

Purpose:

  • To review and describe the various subtypes of brainstem gliomas.
  • To discuss therapeutic approaches for different brainstem glioma subtypes.
  • To highlight the clinical and biological differences between pediatric and adult brainstem gliomas.

Summary:

  • Brainstem gliomas are increasingly understood as a heterogeneous tumor group, predominantly affecting pediatric patients.
  • Subtypes beyond diffuse glioma exhibit different biological behaviors, surgical resectability, and prognoses, leading to evolving classifications.

  • This review details these subtypes, therapeutic strategies, and contrasts pediatric and adult brainstem gliomas, incorporating clinical data.

    • Impact:

    • Improved classification and understanding of brainstem glioma heterogeneity.
    • Guidance on tailored therapeutic strategies for distinct tumor subtypes.
    • Enhanced differentiation between pediatric and adult brainstem glioma management and outcomes.
