Anaplastic ganglioglioma
Definition[edit | edit source]
Anaplastic ganglioglioma (AGG) is a very rare type of brain tumor that is a type of ganglioglioma.
Summary[edit | edit source]
- In general, gangliogliomas are classified as grade I or low grade tumors, meaning that they grow slowly and are considered benign.
- Anaplastic gangliogliomas, however, are considered grade III or high grade tumors, which means that they are usually aggressive, malignant tumors.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
- The main treatment is removal of the entire tumor during surgery.
- If the entire tumor is not removed, it has the potential to recur and may require additional surgery or treatments, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
- Unfortunately, because gangliogliomas are quite rare, there is limited information to show that radiation therapy or chemotherapy are effective treatments for this condition.
