Surg-02. uk low grade glioma management - a survey of national practice

CONCLUSIONS:A large proportion of respondents confirmed that they provide specialist LGG services in established multidisciplinary environments. The majority of centres do recognise the value of upfront surgery with the aim of achieving significant bulk resection. The methodology surrounding awake craniotomy varies markedly across the UK centres. A unit-to-unit variation in the post-operative care of LGG patients was also noted, with disparity in which patients are referred for adjuvant therapy. This survey supports the establishment of a UK National LGG Working Group who can setup a regular National outcome audit & establish a National LGG Database.
