Zusammenfassung:	We show that people with a silent glioma have more chances to die from their gliomas than from another unrelated cause. This result, combined with the knowledge that diffuse low‐grade gliomas remain clinically silent for a very long period (>10 years), grounds the screening and preventive treatment of silent diffuse low‐grade glioma.
