Thalamic gliomas: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Tumor grade remains the strongest prognostic factor in thalamic glioma surgery. While laterality and extent of resection appear less predictive, tailored surgical approaches supported by advanced imaging and intraoperative monitoring can optimize outcomes. Further research incorporating molecular subtypes is warranted to refine surgical strategies and prognosis.
