Abstract

Inability of clinical oncologists to detect tumour early enough is a dreadful setback in management of gliomas. In view of this literatures were assessed for possible combination of mathematical parameters with scanning methods with intent to identifying all stages of gliomas that could be attacked inorder to slow down glioma growth invariably leading to increased life span. Findings have shown that gliomas of the volume of upto 20 cm3 and 6 cm long could be removed surgically or arrested chemotherapeutically, but if left untreated for 1-7.2 years can kill. Hence consideration of glioma dimension is the key to successful management.
