Recent advances in maximum safe glioma resection have included the introduction of a host
of visualization techniques to complement intraoperative white-light imaging of tumors …

Fluorescence-guided surgery is a rapidly growing field that has produced some of the most
important innovations in surgical oncology in the past decade. These intraoperative imaging …

The primary treatment for brain tumors often involves surgical resection for diagnosis, relief

The current neurosurgical goal for patients with malignant gliomas is maximal safe resection
of the contrast-enhancing tumor. However, a complete resection of the contrast-enhancing …

Mounting evidence suggests that a more extensive surgical resection is associated with an
improved life expectancy for both low-grade and high-grade glioma patients. However …

Background Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) is a technique used to enhance
visualization of tumor margins in order to increase the extent of tumor resection in glioma …
