Aaronson et al identified factors impacting the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of a patient with a low-grade glioma. These can help to identify a patient who may benefit from interventions to improve QOL. The authors are from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Vrije Universiteit Medical Center and St. Elisabeth Hospital in the Netherlands.
Patient selection: low grade glioma
