Computed tomography-based stereotactic third ventriculostomy: technical note.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to determine if the expression of receptor tyrosine kinases would distinguish astrocytosis from astrocytoma. Because the expression of this family of receptor proteins is greater in higher-grade tumors, a graded series of both reactive and neoplastic astrocytic lesions in humans was evalu...
