==Overview==
==Overview==
Because of their diffusely infiltrating nature, oligodendrogliomas cannot be completely resected and are not curable by [[surgery|surgical excision]]. If the tumor mass compresses adjacent brain structures, a [[neurosurgery|neurosurgeon]] will typically remove as much of the tumor as he or she can without damaging other critical, healthy brain structures. Surgery may be followed up by [[chemotherapy]], [[radiation]], or a mix of both. Oligodendrogliomas, like all other infiltrating [[gliomas]], have a very high (almost uniform) rate of recurrence and gradually increase in grade over time.  Recurrent tumors are generally treated with more aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Recently, [[stereotactic surgery]] has proven successful in treating small tumors that have been diagnosed early.
The predominant [[therapy]] for [[oligodendroglioma]] is [[surgical resection]]. [[Adjuvant chemotherapy|Adjunctive chemotherapy]] and [[radiation]] are required. [[Support|Supportive]] [[therapy]] for [[oligodendroglioma]] includes [[anticonvulsants]] and [[corticosteroids]].

==Medical Therapy==
'''Innovative treatment options:'''
* [[Brain]] [[tumors]] can be [[Complex (chemistry)|complex]] and require a [[Combination therapy|combination of treatments]] for the [[Best practice|best]] [[outcome|outcome.]]
* There is quite a wide [[Range (statistics)|range]] of [[treatments]] to meet the [[Individual growth|individual]] needs of each [[patient]] which includes [[standard]] [[Therapy|therapies]], [[precision]] [[medicine]] and [[clinical trials]].
* Some of them are listed below:
**'''Brachytherapy:'''
*** Destroys [[tumors]] by [[Implant|implanting]] [[radioactive]] [[medicine]] [[Directly observed treatment|directly]] to or near the [[Treatments|treatment]] site.
** '''Chemotherapy:'''
*** [[Reachback|Reaches]] [[cancer]] that may have [[Spreading activation|spread]], even [[Microscopic|microscopically]], throughout the [[Human body|body]].
** '''Craniotomy:'''
*** [[Surgical procedure]] that removes a [[bone]] flap, a [[section]] of the [[skull]], to [[Accessibility|access]] the [[brain]].
** '''Intensity-modulated radiation therapy:'''
*** Uses [[Computer-assisted|computer]] technology to [[Delivery|deliver]] [[radiation treatment]] that precisely [[fits]] the [[Size consistency|size]] and [[Shape parameter|shape]] of the [[tumor]].
** '''Minimally invasive cranial base surgery:'''
*** Uses smaller [[Incision|incisions]] and specially [[Design matrix|designed]] [[Instrumental variable|instruments]] to eliminate a [[tumor]] while saving the surrounding [[tissue]] from damage.
** '''Stereotactic radiosurgery & radiotherapy:'''
*** A [[noninvasive]] [[procedure]] that applies [[Large-print|large]] [[doses]] of [[radiation]] [[Directly observed treatment|directly]] to a [[tumor]].
The [[Medical therapy template|medical therapy]] for [[oligodendroglioma]] includes:


===Radiotherapy===
===Radiotherapy===
Because of the indolent nature of these tumors and the potential [[morbidity]] associated with [[neurosurgery]], [[chemotherapy]] and [[radiation therapy]], most [[oncology|neurooncologists]] will initially pursue a course of [[watchful waiting]] and treat patients symptomatically.  Symptomatic treatment often includes the use of [[anticonvulsants]] for seizures and [[Glucocorticoid|steroids]] for [[oedema|brain swelling]].  PCV chemotherapy ([[Procarbazine]], [[Lomustine|CCNU]] and [[Vincristine]]) has been shown to be effective and is currently the most commonly used chemotherapy regimen used for treating anaplastic oligodendrogliomas.<ref>Herbert H. Engelhard, M.D., Ph.D., Ana Stelea, M.D., and Arno Mundt, M.D.[http://www.virtualtrials.com/pdf/oligo.pdf] p.452</ref> [[Temozolomide]] is a common chemotheraputic drug to which oligodendrogliomas appear to be quite sensitive.  It is often used as a first line therapy.
