Quality of life after surgery for lower grade gliomas.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few large studies have investigated quality of life (QOL) for adults diagnosed with lower grade glioma (LGG).

Methods

QOL was assessed for 320 adults with LGG (World Health Organization grade 2/3) enrolled in the International Low Grade Glioma Registry by using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form health survey. Data on symptoms were also collected. QOL outcomes were examined by treatment group and also compared to those from a population-based case-control study of meningioma (the Meningioma Consortium), in which 1722 meningioma cases diagnosed among residents of Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Texas, and North Carolina from May 1, 2006 through March 14, 2013 were enrolled and frequency matched to 1622 controls by age, sex, and geography.
