Patient Voice in the Treatment of Low-grade Gliomas: Use of Patient-reported Outcomes, Vorasidenib and Radiotherapy Compared

Summary

The study aims to assess the direct patient-reported perception (PROs) of individuals affected by IDH-mutant, grade 2 gliomas undergoing radiotherapy or pharmacological treatment with vorasidenib. To evaluate quality of life, perception of treatment-related symptoms, and anxiety levels during therapy by comparing patients receiving radiotherapy with those receiving pharmacological treatment with vorasidenib. The control group will consist of patients with IDH-mutant, grade 2 gliomas who are under clinical and radiological follow-up only. To assess the feasibility of using PROMs in routine clinical practice. To analyze patient-reported critical issues in order to qualitatively improve care pathways.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Cognitive impairment or mental disability.
