Improving the Extent of Malignant Glioma Resection by Dual Intraoperative Visualization Approach
Despite continuing debates around cytoreductive surgery in malignant gliomas, there is broad consensus that increased extent of tumor reduction improves overall survival. However, maximization of the extent of tumor resection is hampered by difficulty in intraoperative discrimination between normal and pathological tissue. In this context, two established methods for tumor visualization, fluore...
متن کاملCoregistered intraoperative ultrasonography in resection of malignant glioma.
OBJECT The authors present their experience with coregistration of preoperative imaging data to intraoperative ultrasonography in the resection of high-grade gliomas, focusing on methodology and clinical observation. METHODS Images were obtained preoperatively and coregistered to intraoperative hand-held ultrasound images by merging the respective imaging coordinate systems. After patient reg...
متن کاملGlioma extent of resection and its impact on patient outcome.
OBJECTIVE There is still no general consensus in the literature regarding the role of extent of glioma resection in improving patient outcome. Although the importance of resection in obtaining tissue diagnosis and alleviating symptoms is clear, a lack of Class I evidence prevents similar certainty in assessing the influence of extent of resection. METHODS We reviewed every major clinical publ...
متن کاملSurgical treatment for glioma: extent of resection applying functional neurosurgery.
Current treatments for gliomas, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, frequently result in unsuccessful outcomes. Studies on glioma resection were reviewed to assess better treatment outcomes applying the newest neurosurgical multimodalities. We reviewed reports of surgical removal of gliomas utilizing functional brain mapping, monitoring, and other functional neurosurgery tec...
متن کاملImproving outcome in newly diagnosed malignant glioma
In 2013, two discoveries—that alkylating agent chemotherapy prolongs survival when added to radiotherapy for patients with anaplastic oligodendroglial tumours with 1p19q codeletion, and that bevacizumab prolongs progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma—have dominated debate in neuro-oncology. These findings could help to define new standards of care in malignant g...
