Risk factors for postoperative malignant progression of lower-grade gliomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Surg Oncol)
This review identified multiple factors associated with the risk of postoperative malignant progression of LGGs, with moderate to high certainty of evidence supporting several key risk and protective factors. Surgeons should be aware of these factors and consider implementing more active treatment and surveillance measures for high-risk patients to improve prognosis.

New and Emerging Therapies for Patients with Low-Grade Glioma. (PubMed, CNS Drugs)
This review will highlight the molecular and genetic underpinnings of these tumors and how targeted therapeutic strategies led to the US Food and Drug Administration's approvals of combination therapy with dabrafenib and trametinib for pediatric patients with BRAF V600E mutant low-grade glioma; tovorafenib, a pan-RAF inhibitor, for pediatric BRAF mutant glioma; and vorasidenib, an inhibitor of mutant IDH1/2 enzymes, for patients with mutant IDH low-grade glioma. Integration of these targeted therapies into currently accepted treatment paradigms remains to be fully understood, along with the long-term impact on patient quality of life and prognosis.

Multimodal treatment with thiotepa, bevacizumab, teniposide, and tunlametinib in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1-associated oligodendroglioma: a rare case report. (PubMed, Anticancer Drugs)
As of June 2025, the patient has achieved a CR with a progression-free survival of 9 months before experiencing disease recurrence. This rare case of NF1-associated oligodendroglioma was managed with thiotepa, bevacizumab, teniposide, and tunlametinib, highlighting the potential of MEK inhibition in NF1-related gliomas.

Concurrence of FGFR1 mutations modulates oncogenesis in glioneuronal tumors. (PubMed, EMBO J)
Introducing the R661P missense variant was sufficient to abolish self-renewal capacity of oligodendroglioma cells and downregulate genes involved in neurodevelopment and neuro-glial cell fate decisions, both aspects overcome in the double mutants. This study sheds light on contextual oncogenic effects associated with FGFR1 alterations and their recurrence in low-mutation burden and therapy naive tumors.

Gender- and Grade-Dependent Activation of Androgen Receptor Signaling in Adult-Type Diffuse Gliomas: Epigenetic Insights from a Retrospective Cohort Study. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
Additionally, methylation patterns of AR co-regulators located on the X chromosome suggest epigenetic regulation of AR signaling in gliomas. The findings reveal distinct AR pathway activation patterns in adult-type diffuse gliomas, particularly IDH-wildtype GBMs, suggesting that further exploration of antiandrogen therapies is warranted.
