The surgical management of brain tumors is based on the principle that the extent of
resection improves patient outcomes. Traditionally, neurosurgeons have considered that …

The classical way for surgical selection and planning in cerebral glioma mainly focused on
tumor topography. The emerging science of connectomics, which aims of mapping brain …

The purpose of surgery for brain tumors involving eloquent neural circuits is to maximize the
extent of resection while preserving an optimal quality of life. To this end, especially in …

The goal of glioma surgery is maximal safe resection. These intrinsic brain neoplasms,
however, lack a clear margin and frequently infiltrate eloquent areas of the brain thus …

BACKGROUND As knowledge of the brain has increased, clinicians have learned that the
cerebrum is composed of complex networks that interact to execute key functions. While …

Nader Sanai, MD, and Mitchel S. Berger, MD lthough a primary tenet of neurosurgical
oncology is that survival can improve with greater tumor resection, this principle must be …

WHO grade II glioma, ie diffuse low-grade glioma, is a pre-malignant tumour, usually
revealed by seizures in young patients with a normal life. This tumour has a constant growth …

BACKGROUND: Little is known regarding the neurocognitive impact of temporal lobe tumor
resection. OBJECTIVE: To clarify subacute surgery-related changes in neurocognitive …

The traditional principle underlying oncological neurosurgery is to remove a tumor mass
displacing the brain in order to increase survival. Recently, advances in connectomics …

Greater extent of resection (EOR) of low-grade gliomas is associated with improved survival.
Proximity to eloquent cortical regions often limits resectability and elevates the risk of …
