The extent of resection is of prognostic
value

in 1229 patients: Can we do better than gross-total resection?; J Neurosurg. 2016 Apr;124(4):977-88;

grade hemispheric gliomas. J Clin Oncol 2008; 26: 1338–1345.
The resected tumor volume is predictive for
malignant transformation in low grade
glioma
