Abstract
Objective: to present the diagnostic, molecular, radiological, and therapeutic advances, to address diffuse gliomas, made at Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud (FUCS), Bogotá D.C., Colombia, in the last 5 years (2018-2023). Materials and methods: diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to address diffuse gliomas are described through illustrative cases. Results: the advances in diagnostic and therapeutic tools for managing diffuse gliomas, are shown. Discussion: in the last 5 years progress in characterizing, diagnosing, and treating diffuse gliomas, thanks to technological breakthroughs, such as molecular markers, tractography, image fusion for neuronavigation, and cortical stimulation techniques, has been achieved. This has allowed improving morbidity rate, disease-free quality of life and overall survival through the treatment provided to patients afflicted with gliomas. Conclusions: Diagnostic techniques based on tractography, comprehensive intraoperative image fusion, and electrophysiological brain mapping with cortical and subcortical stimulation, have improved the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for diffuse gliomas.
