[Intraoperative fluorescent detection and photodynamic therapy in patients with metastatic cerebral lesions].
Brain metastases are known to have poor prognosis. In spite of using modern treatments such as microsurgical resection, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, survival of these patients remains low. Due to this fact we looked for novel methods of treatment that are able to increase the recurrence-free surgical and therefore overall survival of these patients. This paper analyzes new treatment methods used in brain tumors--fluorescent detection and photodynamic therapy with 5-aminolevulinic acid.
