Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A growing body of evidence has revealed the potential utility of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a surgical adjunct in selected lower-grade gliomas. However, a reliable means of identifying which lower-grade gliomas will fluoresce has not been established. OBJECTIVE: To identify clinical and radiological factors predictive of intraoperative fluorescence in intermediate-grade gliomas. In addition,...
