Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Low-grade central nervous system tumors represent 15-35% of primary brain tumors.
  • This category includes diverse entities not initially classified as malignant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathological classification of low-grade central nervous system tumors.
  • To discuss diagnostic procedures, treatment options, and pathogenic mechanisms.
  • To highlight neuroradiological and pathological features of these entities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies on low-grade central nervous system tumors.
  • Synthesis of information on classification, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • Emphasis on radiological and pathological characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Low-grade tumors encompass a wide spectrum of brain neoplasms.
  • Accurate classification and diagnosis are crucial for appropriate management.
  • Understanding pathogenic mechanisms aids in developing targeted therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive review of low-grade central nervous system tumors.
  • Importance of detailed pathological and neuroradiological assessment.
  • Need for continued research into pathogenesis and treatment strategies.
