VIDEO: Study evaluates outcomes for optic pathway gliomas linked to neurofibromatosis type 1

PHILADELPHIA — In this video, Michael Fisher, MD, discusses the results of a natural history study he presented at the International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology.
The prospective multicenter study observed the treatment and clinical management of children with newly diagnosed optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) to evaluate the prognostic factors for visual outcomes to decide which patients need treatment.
