    AbstractLow-grade gliomas are a broad category of tumors that can manifest at different stages of life. As a group, their prognosis has historically been considered to be favorable, and surgery is a mainstay of treatment. Advances in the molecular characterization of individual lesions has led to newer classification systems, a better understanding of the biological behavior of different neoplasms, and the identification of previously unrecognized entities. New prospective genetic and molecular data will help delineate better treatment paradigms and will continue to change the taxonomy of central nervous system tumors in the coming years. Advances in the field of radiomics will help predict the molecular profile of a particular tumor through noninvasive testing. Similarly, more precise methods of intraoperative tumor tissue analysis will aid surgical planning. Improved surgical outcomes propelled by novel surgical techniques and intraoperative adjuncts and emerging forms of medical treatment in the field of immunotherapy have enriched the management of these lesions. We review the contemporary management and innovations in the treatment of low-grade gliomas.Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Inc.
