Effects of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor on rodent gliomas and normal brain.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Removal of jugular foramen (JF) tumors usually requires extensive skull base approaches and is frequently associated with postoperative morbidities such as lower cranial nerve injury. The endoscope-assisted retrosigmoid infralabyrinthine approach is a relatively new approach to tumors extending into the bony ...
