Weller, M; Wick, W (2014). Neuro-oncology in 2013: improving outcome in newly diagnosed malignant glioma. Nature Reviews. Neurology, 10(2):68-70.
In 2013, two discoveries—that alkylating agent chemotherapy prolongs survival when added to radiotherapy for patients with anaplastic oligodendroglial tumours with 1p19q codeletion, and that bevacizumab prolongs progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma—have dominated debate in neuro-oncology. These findings could help to define new standards of care in malignant glioma.
