European Low Grade Glioma Network
In june 2006 approximately fifty people gathered for a two day informal conference in the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris, discussing treatment options for low grade Glioma (LGG). Most of these people had previously visited Paris because of the surgical management of LGG patients by Hugues Duffau. Talks covered a broad range of topics ranging from functional neuroimaging and molecular biology to radiotherapy and neurocognitive assessment. It became clear that there remain significant questions on all these terrains and that there is no single and simple treatment strategy for LGG patients. New meetings were scheduled. Main goal of the European Low Grade Glioma Network is to create a platform where clinicians and researchers can meet, discuss treatment of LGG patients and share information and data for multicenter research.
