More problematic are the low-grade gliomas that occur in adults, referred to as grade II gliomas (LGGs). These tumors are characterized by an entirely different pattern of behavior. They are invasive and cannot be completely resected surgically; residual tumor cells are always present distal to the margin of resection no matter how extensive. Commonly, these tumors recur, eventually undergo malignant degeneration, and are ultimately fatal.1
