Surgical treatment of 100 single brain metastases. Analysis of the results.

Abstract:

:The authors report their personal series of 100 consecutive surgically treated single brain metastases between 1981 and 1988. Patients selection was decided with respect to general and neurological conditions and to primary cancer development. Resection was mostly radical, postoperative mortality rate was 6% and neurological improvement was obtained in 73% of cases. Mean follow-up was 15 months (min. 12, max. 60). The overall median survival time was 13 months. The survival rate was studied with respect to age, lesion site, preoperative syndrome, primary cancer, cause of death and radiotherapy. On the base of their experience the Authors would stress that a better patients selection can further reduce the mortality rate.

  • Resecting diffuse low-grade gliomas to the boundaries of brain functions: a new concept in surgical neuro-oncology.

    abstract::The traditional dilemma making surgery for diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGGs) challenging is underlain by the need to optimize tumor resection in order to significantly increase survival versus the risk of permanent neurological morbidity. Development of neuroimaging led neurosurgeons to achieve tumorectomy according t...
