Overview of Low Grade Gliomas

A review of current knowledge reveals that a comprehensive genomic characterization of the evolution from primary low-grade glioma to recurrence is needed to advance treatment. Engagement with persons living with LGG is key to this effort.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the new, 2021, World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for LGG
• Understand genetic and environmental risk factors for glioma
• Learn about new research into LGG and the role of patient engagement in this effort
