Laser-induced fluorescent visualization and photodynamic therapy in surgical treatment of glial brain tumors

D. M. Kustov et al.

Summary: High-grade gliomas are difficult to completely resect due to their diffuse nature, and current fluorescent imaging equipment has limitations. 5-aminolevulinic acid is used clinically for tumor detection and treatment, but the technical challenges of using red light for fluorescence-guided surgery are significant.
