Laser Ablation of Recurrent Malignant Gliomas: Current Status and Future Perspective.
Recurrent malignant glioma continues to be a clinical challenge, and repeat surgery is an option in only select patients. Stereotactic laser ablation, a new minimally invasive technique, can be used as an alternative to surgery. We review the current literature on laser ablation for recurrent malignant gliomas as well as discuss practical and theoretical advantages and disadvantages of this eme...
متن کاملStereotactic laser ablation of high-grade gliomas.
Evolving research has demonstrated that surgical cytoreduction of a high-grade glial neoplasm is an important factor in improving the prognosis of these difficult tumors. Recent advances in intraoperative imaging have spurred the use of stereotactic laser ablation (laser interstitial thermal therapy [LITT]) for intracranial lesions. Among other targets, laser ablation has been used in the focal...
متن کاملStudy of laser ablation using nano-second laser pulses
In this paper, the laser ablation process based on the irradiation of nanosecond pulsed lasers on a copper target surface in the presence of Helium gas is studied. The dynamical behaviors of the generated plasma in the helium gas and evaporated copper at the atmospheric pressure are examined using a laser pulse, laser wavelength of and intensity of 7×1010W/cm2. A one-dimensional thermal model ...
متن کاملDisease progression patterns of bevacizumab responders with recurrent malignant gliomas
Tumor progression in patients with recurrent malignant glioma who respond to bevacizumab (BEV) is difficult to assess. The current study reviewed the clinical and radiological results of patients following a BEV-based chemotherapy regimen, and evaluated disease progression patterns in patients who responded to BEV therapy. From August 2011 to November 2015, 24 patients (18 glioblastoma cases an...
متن کاملPhase II study of fotemustine in recurrent supratentorial malignant gliomas.
38 adults with recurrent supratentorial malignant gliomas, including glioblastoma multiforme (21), anaplastic astrocytomas (9), probably transformed low-grade astrocytomas (6), pinealoblastoma (1) and non-metastatic tumour of unknown histology (1), were treated with fotemustine 100 mg/m2 intravenously every week for 3 consecutive weeks followed by a 5-week rest period. Maintenance treatment con...
