Radical surgery after chemotherapy: a new therapeutic strategy to envision in grade II glioma.

abstract：PURPOSE:Molecular data has become an essential part of the updated World Health Organization (WHO) grading of central nervous system tumors. However, stereotactic needle biopsies provide only small volume specimens and limit the extent of histologic and molecular testing that can be performed. We assessed the use of a ...
