Lessons from brain mapping in surgery for low-grade glioma: insights into associations between tumour and brain plasticity

H Duffau - The Lancet Neurology, 2005 - thelancet.com
Surgical treatment of low-grade gliomas (LGGs) aims to maximise the amount of tumour
tissue resected, while minimising the risk of functional sequelae. In this review I address the …

The influence of maximum safe resection of glioblastoma on survival in 1229 patients: can we do better than gross-total resection?

YM Li, D Suki, K Hess, R Sawaya - Journal of neurosurgery, 2016 - thejns.org
