Low-grade gliomas (LGG) are not benign neoplasms. Patients with LGG eventually die as a consequence of this disease. Although the survival of patients with LGG is better than that of patients with higher-grade tumours, many of the treatments can produce or contribute to chronic impairment, particularly radiotherapy. Chemotherapy has emerged as a promising therapy, although definitive findings are awaited. Breakthroughs in molecular biology have improved our understanding of tumours and have led to the development of novel treatments and better prognoses. Ongoing clinical trials will help to elucidate the optimum management of patients with LGG.

Cerebral metastases remain a common complication among patients with cancer. Historically, whole-brain radiotherapy has remained the standard of care, with surgery being reserved for selected cases. Recent advances have changed our practice, however. In particular, stereotactic radiosurgery has emerged as a vital treatment modality for this disease. In addition, chemotherapy, including temozolomide, topoisomerase inhibitors and antimetabolites, and treatment sensitizers, such as efaproxiral and motexafin gadolinium, are actively being assessed in clinical trials, and are likely to play an increasing role in the management of cerebral metastases in the future. Nonetheless, many uncertainties remain, such as the optimal combination and timing of therapeutics. As the arsenal of therapeutics expands, it will be increasingly important to select appropriate patients for a particular treatment paradigm. Understanding the efficacy and toxicity of treatment is essential to this task.
