Purpose Despite procedural similarities between laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) and
stereotactic needle biopsy (SNB), LITT induces delayed, pro-inflammatory responses not …

Introduction Tissue diagnosis through stereotactic needle biopsy (SNB) is often needed prior
to laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT). Whether these procedures should be performed in …

Gliomas are the most frequent primary brain tumor in adults. Patients with glioblastoma
(GBM) tumors deemed inoperable with open surgical techniques and treated only with …

Objective MR‐guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is used increasingly for
refractory epilepsy. The goal of this investigation is to directly compare cost and short‐term …

Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) emerged in 1990 as a promising treatment for brain
tumors. It is a minimally invasive procedure that has many advantages over conventional …

BACKGROUND: The management of intracranial oncological disease remains a significant
challenge despite advances in systemic cancer therapy. Laser interstitial thermal therapy …

Introduction The efficacy and safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy followed by
