Recurrent Childhood Visual Pathway Glioma
Treatment for recurrent disease depends on the type of tumor, whether the tumor
comes back in the same place or in another part of the brain, and the treatment
that was given before.
If possible, the tumor may be removed during surgery. Radiation therapy may be
given, especially if it was not given before. Chemotherapy may be used, and clinical trials are evaluating new chemotherapy drugs.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent childhood visual pathway glioma.
