Background Patients suffering from malignant gliomas have a poor prognosis. For the
surgical treatment of these tumors, 5‐aminolevulinic acid (5‐ALA) has become a new …

Neurosurgery makes use of preoperative imaging to visualize pathology, inform surgical
planning, and evaluate the safety of selected approaches. The utility of preoperative imaging …

Diffuse gliomas are infiltrative primary brain tumors with a poor prognosis despite
multimodal treatment. Maximum safe resection is recommended whenever feasible. The …

Background Surgical resection of high-grade gliomas (HGG) is standard therapy because it
imparts significant progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS). However, HGG-tumor …

Introduction Neuronavigation greatly improves the surgeon's ability to approach, assess and
operate on brain tumors, but tends to lose its accuracy as the surgery progresses and …

Purpose The extent of resection (EOR) is an independent prognostic factor for overall
survival (OS) in adult patients with Glioma Grade 4 (GG4). The aim of the neuro-oncology …

Maximal safe resection represents the gold standard for surgery of malignant brain tumors.
As regards gross-total resection, accurate localization and precise delineation of the tumor …

Intraoperative ultrasonography (iUS) is considered an accurate, safe, and cost-effective tool
to estimate the extent of resection of both high-grade (HGG) and low-grade (DLGG) diffuse …

OBJECTIVE Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) is used in the surgical treatment of glioblastoma, with
uncertain effects on outcomes. The authors evaluated the impact of iMRI on extent of …

BACKGROUND Maximizing extent of resection (EOR) and reducing residual tumor volume
(RTV) while preserving neurological functions is the main goal in the surgical treatment of …
