Surgery
As a general rule, dorsal exophytic tumors and cervicomedullary tumors tend to do best with surgery, whereas it has no role in the management of diffuse brainstem gliomas.
Surgical resection with or without radiation therapy and chemotherapy can be used in the treatment of:
- Newly diagnosed focal brainstem gliomas
- Recurrent focal brainstem gliomas.
