A member asked:
Oligodendroglioma, how is this tumor monitored and how do neuro oncologist tell if treatment is working, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oligodendroglioma: The monitoring for this type of tumor is done by MRI. If the chemotherapy is working then there should be no growth or also a decrease in the size of the tumor on followup MRIs.
