or even highly likely to demonstrate a brain tumor, but confirmation requires a tissue diagnosis whenever possible. A small sample of the tumor (a biopsy) is taken to identify the type of tumor and the grade of the tumor.
The presence of eloquent areas within or near a tumor often limits resection, as resection of these areas would result in functional loss and reduced quality of life. The aim of this randomized, triple-blind, sham-controlled study is to investigate the capability of repetitive navigated ...
Secondary end points include progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months, median PFS, changes in tumor vascularization, plasma concentration of olaptesed pegol, quality-of-life, and neurologic function. Patients are eligible to enroll in the study if they have newly diagnosed, histologically ...
therapy (n= 39). Patients who received targeted therapy were divided into first generation (n= 23) and second or third generation (n= 16). The progression-free survival (PFS) of brain metastases and the overall survival (OS) of patients were analyzed depending on the age, tumor pathology,...
