Low-grade gangliogliomas in adults: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low-grade gangliogliomas (GGs) are rare tumors of the central nervous system in adults. This study aims to define their characteristics, prognostic factors, and the impact of different treatment patterns on survival.

Methods

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to investigate the potential clinicopathological factors of low-grade GGs in adult patients (age ≥18 years). Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression model were utilized to evaluate the associations between variables and overall survival (OS).

Results

A total of 703 adult patients diagnosed with low-grade GGs were identified between 2004 and 2016, with a median follow-up period of 60.0 months. The median age at diagnosis was 32.0 years, with 50.1% of patients being m
