Functional rehabilitation in patients with diffuse low-grade glioma (DLGG)

Abstract

A relevant and ethical management of DLGG patients can't refrain from taking into account cognitive disorders and proposing, if need be, a specific program of cognitive rehabilitation, to allow patients recovering -or maintaining- the best level of quality of life as possible. The slow-growing and infiltrating character of DLGG makes their associated cognitive disorders particularly amenable to rehabilitation, by potentiating or even constraining the mechanisms of functional brain reorganization within complex large-scale neural networks.
