Gliomas difusos en áreas elocuentes: avances diagnósticos y terapéuticos

Diffuse gliomas within eloquent areas: diagnostic and therapeutic advances

Objetivo: presentar los avances diagnósticos, moleculares y radiológicos, así como en las estrategias terapéuticas para gliomas difusos en los últimos 5 años (2018-2023) en la Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud (FUCS), Bogotá D.C., Colombia. Materiales y métodos: se describen las técnicas diagnósticas y terapéuticas utilizadas para gliomas difusos con casos ilustrativos. Resultados: se muestran los avances de las herramientas diagnósticas y terapéuticas para el manejo de gliomas difusos. Discusión: en los últimos 5 años se ha avanzado en la clasificación, diagnóstico y tratamiento de los gliomas difusos, gracias a los avances tecnológicos como los marcadores moleculares, la tractografía y la fusión de imágenes para la neuronavegación y las técnicas de estimulación cortical. Esto ha permitido que el tratamiento de los pacientes con dichos tumores mejore la tasa de morbilidad, la calidad de vida libre de enfermedad y la supervivencia global. Conclusiones: las técnicas de diagnóstico como la tractografía, la fusión integral de imágenes intraoperatorias y el mapeo cerebral electrofisiológico con estimulación cortical y subcortical han mejorado el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los gliomas difusos.
