Extent of surgical resection predicts seizure freedom in low-grade temporal lobe brain tumors.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Interleukin-12 (IL-12) may be useful for immunotherapy against gliomas because it can reverse the glioma-induced suppression of T-cell proliferation and interferon-gamma production. We postulated that peripheral infusion of IL-12 along with irradiated tumor cells can lead to immunological rejection of 9L glio...
