MR‐guided laser‐induced thermal therapy (LITT) for recurrent glioblastomas

Abstract

Focal tumor control was performed safely using minimally invasive LITT with real-time MRTI control. LITT could be considered as salvage therapy for high-grade recurrent gliomas if a 1-day treatment is considered useful for a few weeks gain in survival. Larger experience will be required to define indications for such infiltrative disease and accurately determine a potentially significant survival gain in good neurological condition associated with this 1-day procedure.
