Abstract

Glioma is the most common primary brain cancer in adults. Survival varies significantly by grade across glioma subtypes. The recent developments have led to the new term “lower-grade glioma” (LLG) to designate both grades II and III gliomas. These gliomas are best treated with a multidisciplinary team approach, including specialists from neurosurgery, radiology, pathology, radiation oncology, and neuro-oncology. In Italy, it is unclear how long follow-up care should last and whether the primary care sector is either willing or able to take this on. The aim is to determine pathways of follow-up care for LGGs and evaluate the professional attitude of doctors to prescribe to patients visits and exams after surgery.
