To providers who treat low grade gliomas: We are studying the variability in postoperative low grade glioma practices, and we would like to learn how you think about 2 example cases. Please take 10 minutes to complete this survey with 26 questions. All responses are anonymous.

This Saturday, #StrainForTheBrain amassed >2200 people, raised >$200k for #braintumor research, celebrated survivors, and honored those who have passed and their families, all on a beautiful spring Milwaukee day. See you next year! #glioblastoma #glioma #gbm @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social

Ever wonder why 2 patients with similar brain lesions might have different neuropsychological profiles? Check out the network connectivity. @medicalcollegeofwi.bsky.social @froedtert.bsky.social #glioma #gbm #connectomics #neuropsych #neurosurgery #braintumor academic.oup.com/noa/article/...

Out today, a perspective on modern surgical decision making in glioma surgery. #TLDR: it's complicated, and I hope this article helps. The more you understand about gliomas, the more you realize that there is no such thing as a "simple glioma surgery" anymore. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you to the team! This case was special, as we celebrated a patient surviving beyond expectations. >2yrs ago she was herniating from a 6cm insular #gbm. After an urgent late-night resection, she recovered. 25mos later, she had a small recurrence. We confirmed path and cytoreduced using #LITT.
