Overview

Surgery

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for ganglioglioma. Surgical resection of the tumor is associated with good clinical and seizure outcome. Even if the seizure is not entirely cured by resection, the frequency of the seizures with decline significantly. Total resection is associated with higher rates of local control and survival, but it can be technically challenging due to the unclear border of the tumor. In cases of subtotal resection, adjuvant radiotherapy is helpful. If the resection fails to cure, adjuvant therapy with mTOR inhibitors could be considered. [1]
