Evaluation of the efficiency of neuronavigation in patients with glioblastoma

Objective: To investigate the effect of neuronavigation use on mortality in patients with glioblastoma. Methods: For each 26 that underwent neuronavigation-assisted supratotal resection for glioblastoma between 2018 and 2020, one patient without navigation was selected. Results: Radiographic radicality observed 35% cases surgery group 29% those conventional group. Absolute relative residual tumor volumes were significantly lower Radical associated a very significant increase survival. There no difference survival rates neuronavigation. This attributed to small number participants being performed all statistically determined The low median period may have also contributed this finding. Conclusions: Surgery plays an important role treatment A combination techniques including intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging, neuronavigation, ultrasound, fluorescence guidance allows safe maximum surgical resection, leading better outcomes terms postoperative functional recovery. However, despite maximal adjuvant chemotherapy-radiotherapy, most develop recurrence within 10 months, which is considered be due established cancer stem cells. Therefore, there urgent need more effective strategies
