Abstract

The management of high-grade glioma (HGG) has evolved significantly over the last decade. Patients are managed in a multidisciplinary team setting in order to ensure their care is guided by the most current evidenced based treatments. The outcome in patients with HGG, while still poor, has improved in terms of both survival and quality of life during illness. This review discusses a number of developments seen in the management of HGG over the last 5 years.
