Selumetinib as a Target Therapy in Progressive Paediatric Low‐Grade Gliomas—Case Series (pLGG)
ABSTRACT Background Optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) occur in 15%–20% of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). While smaller gliomas may be only monitored, the current standard of care for symptomatic ones relies on chemotherapy, most commonly carboplatin and vincristine.
