Laser interstitial thermal therapy for newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma.
OBJECTIVE Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and deadly malignant primary brain tumor. Better surgical therapies are needed for newly diagnosed GBMs that are difficult to resect and for GBMs that recur despite standard therapies. The authors reviewed their institutional experience of using laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for the treatment of newly diagnosed or recurrent GBMs. METHO...
متن کاملEvaluation of Temperature Rise and Thermal Lesion Dimensions in Liver Laser Interstitial Thermotherapy
Introduction: Laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT) is an internal ablation therapy method consisting of a percutaneous or intraoperative insertion of laser fibers directly into the liver tumor with maximum diameter of 5 cm. In this treatment method, there isn’t any general information about the relationship between increasing the exposure power, coagulation and carboniza...
متن کاملLaser interstitial thermal therapy for the treatment of epilepsy: evidence to date
Medically intractable epilepsy is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. For those with focal epilepsy and correlated electrophysiological or radiographic features, open surgical resection can achieve high rates of seizure control, but can be associated with neurologic deficits and cognitive effects. Recent innovations have allowed for more minimally invasive methods of surgical sei...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Focused Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Intracranial Lesions: Single-Institution Series
BACKGROUND Surgical treatments for deep-seated intracranial lesions have been limited by morbidities associated with resection. Real-time magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) offers a minimally invasive surgical treatment option for such lesions. OBJECTIVE To review treatments and results of patients treated with LITT for intracranial lesions at ...
متن کاملLaser thermal therapy: utility of interstitial fluence monitoring for locating optical sensors.
Multipoint optical fluence measurements can potentially be used to detect coagulation-induced changes in optical propagation during interstitial laser thermal therapy. Estimating the dimensions of coagulation using on-line optical monitoring, which is applicable to treatments where the tip of the source fibre is not precharred, may be limited by the accuracy of the placement of optical sensors ...
