A novel radioguided surgery technique exploiting β− decays
The background induced by the high penetration power of the radiation is the main limiting factor of the current radio-guided surgery (RGS). To partially mitigate it, a RGS with β(+)-emitting radio-tracers has been suggested in literature. Here we propose the use of β(-)-emitting radio-tracers and β(-) probes and discuss the advantage of this method with respect to the previously explored ones:...
متن کاملMethod validation of methotrexate in human plasma by LC-MS technique in patients with brain tumor.
Background and aims: A selective and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method has been established for determination of methotrexate in human plasma. Methods: Methotrexate was extracted from plasma with acetonitrile. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water-formic acid 74: 25: 1(v/v). Twenty...
متن کاملGamma probe-assisted brain tumor microsurgical resection: a new technique.
OBJECTIVES The pioneering performance of gamma probe-assisted surgery (GPAS) for brain tumors, aiming not only an improvement of tumor detection, but mainly assurance of its complete removal and the study of the usual distribution of the 99mTc-MIBI in the brain SPECT of normal individuals. METHOD Patient's informed consent and demonstration of the tumor by the preoperative MIBI SPECT were the...
متن کاملEpilepsy surgery following brain tumor resection in children.
OBJECT Intractable epilepsy following successful brain tumor surgery in children may have several underlying causes such as residual tumor, cortical dysplasia, and gliosis. The authors reviewed the cases of children who had previously undergone resection of a brain tumor only to have medically refractory seizures postoperatively. METHODS The authors performed a retrospective case review of 9 ...
متن کاملThe sub-pial resection technique for intrinsic tumor surgery
BACKGROUND The technique of sub-pial resection, first described in the early 1900s, was later refined by Penfield and Jasper for removal of supratentorial epileptic cortex. This technique has not been widely adopted for intrinsic tumor resection, for which the most widely used technique involves piecemeal aspiration of the tumor. This technique of "staying within the tumor" results in persisten...
