A member asked:
Can a lower grade glioma can be cured without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Brain tumors- glioma is the most common, cannot be cured without surgery. It's fortunate that your glioma is low grade but removing it is the only way to get rid of it. Tumors can always change also- becoming malignant after they have been low grade.
