Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurosurgical management plays a critical role in the treatment of gliomas, which are tumors that arise from the glial cells in the brain. The primary objective of neurosurgical intervention is to safely remove as much of the tumor as possible while preserving neurological function.
The management of gliomas involves a multidisciplinary approach, with neurosurgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists working together to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
Surgery is often the first-line treatment for gliomas, aiming to achieve maximal safe resection. Moreover it provides material for the histo-molecular analysis of the tumor leading to the best medical management. The extent of tumor removal depends on various factors, such as the tumor location, size, and proximity to vital brain structures and may require different tools as intraoperative monitoring in awake condition, intraoperative imaging or fluorescence-guided surgery. The goal is to remove as much of the tumor as possible to alleviate symptoms, reduce tumor burden, and potentially improve patient outcomes.
This special issue hopes to provide some implications for future clinical practice by exploring the neurosurgical management of gliomas.
