Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive surgical alternative for
neurooncology patients deemed poor candidates for open resection. The technology
delivers laser light through a stereotactically navigated fiber optic probe to create thermal
damage, leading to cellular death within the target lesion. Although LITT has become
increasingly used as an adjunct treatment for gliomas, dural-based lesions, and even
radiation necrosis, most neuro-oncologic studies evaluating the use of LITT have focused on …
