Stereotactic laser ablation of high-grade gliomas.
Evolving research has demonstrated that surgical cytoreduction of a high-grade glial neoplasm is an important factor in improving the prognosis of these difficult tumors. Recent advances in intraoperative imaging have spurred the use of stereotactic laser ablation (laser interstitial thermal therapy [LITT]) for intracranial lesions. Among other targets, laser ablation has been used in the focal...

متن کاملHypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy: an effective therapy for recurrent high-grade gliomas.
PURPOSE Salvage options for recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) are limited by cumulative toxicity and limited efficacy despite advances in chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic techniques. Previous studies have reported encouraging survival results and favorable toxicity with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, and small studies have shown similar benefit using a shortened course of hypofr...
متن کاملDendritic cell therapy of high-grade gliomas.
The prognosis of patients with malignant glioma is poor in spite of multimodal treatment approaches consisting of neurosurgery, radiochemotherapy and maintenance chemotherapy. Among innovative treatment strategies like targeted therapy, antiangiogenesis and gene therapy approaches, immunotherapy emerges as a meaningful and feasible treatment approach for inducing long-term survival in at least ...
متن کاملTreatment of recurrent high-grade gliomas.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although therapies for patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas are limited, there has been important progress recently. This review summarizes current treatments for recurrent high-grade gliomas with an emphasis on more novel approaches. RECENT FINDINGS There is increasing evidence that antiangiogenic therapies have activity in high-grade gliomas. Recently, the United Sta...
