A Single-Center Cost Analysis of Treating Primary and Metastatic Brain Cancers with Either Brain Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) or Craniotomy
BACKGROUND Brain laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance has recently gained US clinical approval for the ablation of soft, neurological tissue. LITT is a minimally invasive alternative to craniotomy. OBJECTIVE While safety and efficacy are the focus of most current LITT studies, it is unclear how acute care costs (inpatient care ± aftercare) ...
متن کاملClinical outcomes of gastrointestinal brain metastases treated with radiotherapy
BACKGROUND Brain metastases of gastrointestinal origin are a rare occurrence. Radiation therapy (RT) in the form of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is an effective established treatment modality in either the definitive or adjuvant setting. The aim of this study is to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) brain meta...
متن کاملThe value of using a brain laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) system in patients presenting with high grade gliomas where maximal safe resection may not be feasible
BACKGROUND The objective of this analysis was to determine the value (incremental cost/increment benefit) of a brain LITT system versus employing current surgical options recommended by NCCN guidelines, specifically open resection (i.e. craniotomy) methods or biopsy (collectively termed CURRENT TREATMENTS) in patients where maximal safe resection may not be feasible. As has been demonstrated in...
متن کاملMR-guided laser induced thermotherapy (LITT) of liver metastases
Purpose To demonstrate clinical findings and imaging criteria of side-effects and complications immediatly and delayed after the MR-guided LITT for the treatment of liver metastases. Material and methods In a time frame of 6 years 411 patients were prospectively treated with MR-guided LITT for liver metastases. Between June 1993 and March 1999 a total of 2440 laser applications were performed t...
متن کاملLaser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) of liver lesions - technique and application data-clinical data
The liver plays a central role in the human metabolism and so represents one of the organ systems most often affected, especially by tumorous diseases. The group of colorectal carcinomas metastatically almost exclusively attacks this organ, which, according to studies by Weiss et al., can be attributed to the venous drainage of the intestines through the portal vein [1,2]. A large number of pri...
