Diagnosed Oligodendroglioma. Suggested Progression Of Tumor Before Radiation And Chemotherapy After Resecting Visible Tumor. Opinion?

Hi, my name is Diane and my 26 year old daughter was diagnosis with a low grade oligodendroglioma. They were able to resect the entire visible tumor. We were told by her neuro-oncologist to wait until progression of tumor before treatment with radiation and chemotherapy. I have been doing a lot of research and came upon this site. Was wondering if you could give me more information on the Dr. Budwigs approach to treatment and what it actually is. Is there any research being done with this type of treatment. Are there any side effects etc. thanks for any info you can forward to me.

Hi,
There are lot of studies done on these issues. Low grade oligodendroglioma can be of grade I and grade II. You have to mention specifically. Gross total resection is the treatment of choice and that should be verified by MRI. The site of the disease is also important. Though there is no definite guideline still developed but genetic analysis is going on for prognostication. If high grade radiation may be given Role of chemotherapy is dubious. Consult your neurooncologist.
