Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults and include a series of highly variable histotypes with different clinical, prognostic, and therapeutic characteristics. All these tumors can benefit from multidisciplinary treatments, which involve the neurosurgical, radiological, oncology, and radiotherapy components, as well as the anatomopathological one.
The early diagnosis of the disease is based on rapid radiological findings, which allows us to advance the first diagnostic hypothesis and on which the indication for surgical treatment will then be advanced. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment play a fundamental role because they allow an early histological and biomolecular diagnosis, as well as rapid treatment of the tumor in its progress, which can therefore benefit from surgical removal as maximally as possible. This also allows the patient to be directed towards an oncological and radiotherapy path with a clinical status that can allow them to face the subsequent necessary therapies. In this scenario, the role of new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies is therefore fundamental, which can allow early treatment of gliomas at onset, consequently guaranteeing the most favorable prognosis possible.
In this Special Issue, we hope to be able to receive valuable scientific contributions that can confirm and implement this concept and that provide the basis for subsequent studies that have a concrete impact on daily clinical practice, which can guarantee a better prognosis for this type of patient.
