Question What is the optimal role of biopsy in the initial management of presumptive low-
grade glioma in adults? Target population Adult patients with imaging suggestive of a low …

Background: Stereotactic brain biopsies are widely used for establishing the diagnosis of
intracranial lesions. Here we examine whether stereotactic biopsy of smaller brain lesions …

Background Multiple biopsy samples are warranted for the histomolecular diagnosis of
diffuse gliomas in the current molecular era, which possibly increases morbidity. Objective …

Background and Study Aims Stereotactic biopsy is a versatile, minimally invasive technique
to obtain tissue safely from intracranial lesions for their histologic diagnosis and therapeutic …

OBJECT Image-guided stereotactic brain tumor biopsy cannot easily obtain samples of
small deep-seated tumor or selectively sample the most viable region of malignant tumor …

OBJECTIVE Postoperative intracerebral hemorrhages are significant complications
following brain stereotactic biopsy. They can derive from anatomical structure (sulci, vessels) …

Background Frame-based stereotactic biopsy (FBSB) is a minimally-invasive and effective
procedure for the diagnosis of brain lesions and will likely gain clinical importance. Since …

Aim: To compare the risk of postoperative haemorrhage with different sizes of brain biopsy
needles. Patients and Method: A cohort of patients using a 2.5-mm outer diameter side …

Objective Accurate identification of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) and
its differentiation from other brain tumors remain difficult but are essential for treatment. In …
