Brain Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fluorescence-guided Resection of Malignant Gliomas With 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) vs. Conventional Resection
The aim of the study "Fluorescence-guided resection of malignant gliomas with 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) vs. conventional resection" is to determine how accurately contrast agent-accumulating tumour can be removed by primary surgery and to assess the clinical usefulness of this method.
Malignant gliomas are locally invasive tumors that carry a dismal prognosis despite a
combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery is generally
considered beneficial but complete resection of contrast enhancing tumor is achieved in less
than 20 % of patients, one reason being the difficulty in discerning marginal, enhancing
tumor intraoperatively.
Five-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) leads to the accumulation of fluorescent porphyrins in
malignant gliomas, a phenomenon under exploration for intraoperative identification and
resection of these tumors. This study investigated the benefit derived from
fluorescent-guided resections using 5-ALA on surgical radicality, progression-free survival
and morbidity.
