Optical touch pointer for fluorescence guided glioblastoma resection using 5-aminolevulinic acid.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Total tumor resection in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is difficult to achieve due to the tumor's infiltrative way of growing and morphological similarity to the surrounding functioning brain tissue. The diagnosis is usually subjectively performed using a surgical microscope. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a hand-held optical touch...
متن کاملFluorescence-guided resection of malignant gliomas using 5-aminolevulinic acid: practical use, risks, and pitfalls.
The need for novel, effective, and safe treatments for malignant glioma is obvious. Despite surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the median survival time of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (World Health Organization Grade IV) still does not exceed 15 months. Patients with anaplastic astrocytoma (World Health Organization Grade III) have a slightly better prognosis. As a result of the ...

This report aims to evaluate the usefulness of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence-guided Mohs surgery resection of penile-scrotal extramammary Paget's disease for achieving maximum tumor resection. Between January 2014 and December 2015, 5 patients underwent surgical resection of a penile-scrotal extramammary Paget's disease in department of urology, Huashan hospital, Fudan University. ...
متن کامل5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence-guided resection of intramedullary ependymoma: report of 9 cases.
BACKGROUND Resection guided by 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence has proved to be useful in intracranial glioma surgery. However, the effects of 5-ALA on spinal cord tumors remain unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of 5-ALA fluorescence-guided resection of intramedullary ependymoma for achieving maximum tumor resection. METHODS This study included 10 patients who underwe...
متن کاملExperience with 5-Aminolevulinic Acid in Fluorescence-Guided Resection of a Deep Sylvian Meningioma
The 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced tumor fluorescence is a useful intraoperative marker for the diagnosis and the detection of various malignancies, but its use in meningioma is only reported infrequently. In meningioma, a complete resection of the tumor mass is crucial for the prevention of recurrence and postoperative morbidities. Deep sylvian meningioma is a rare type of meningioma wh...
