Tumor pseudoprogression is characterized by temporary tumor enlargement following radiotherapy with subsequent stabilization or regression without additional treatment. This phenomenon has been comprehensively described in patients with malignant gliomas. However, this phenomenon has not been sufficiently studied in patients with low-grade gliomas including pilocytic astrocytomas. In recent years, more and more researches devoted to this problem have appeared in the literature. It seems relevant to conduct a meta-analysis of these data in the modern literature.
肿瘤假性进展的特征是放疗后肿瘤暂时增大，随后在无需额外治疗的情况下稳定或缩小。这种现象在恶性胶质瘤患者中已有全面描述。然而，在包括毛细胞型星形细胞瘤在内的低级别胶质瘤患者中，这一现象尚未得到充分研究。近年来，文献中出现了越来越多致力于该问题的研究。对现代文献中的这些数据进行荟萃分析似乎是有意义的。
