Comparative Analysis of 5-ALA and Fluorescent Techniques in High-Grade Glioma Treatment
10 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background: 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) serves as a precursor in the heme biosynthesis pathway, resulting in the selective accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) within glioma cells. This property facilitates fluorescence-guided resection (FGR) in high-grade gliomas (HGGs), enhancing surgical precision and oncological results. Nonetheless, its clinical implementation is restricted by factors such as...
