Effect of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid and Sodium Fluorescein on the Extent of Resection in High-Grade Gliomas and Brain Metastasis

Effect of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid and Sodium Fluorescein on the Extent of Resection in High-Grade Gliomas and Brain Metastasis

Surgery is essential in the treatment of high-grade gliomas (HGG) and gross total resection (GTR) is known to increase the overall survival and progression-free survival. Several studies have shown that fluorescence-guided surgery with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) increases GTR considerably compare...
