Prognostic Value of 5-ALA Fluorescence, Tumor Cell Infiltration and Angiogenesis in the Peritumoral Brain Tissue of Brain Metastases

Prognostic Value of 5-ALA Fluorescence, Tumor Cell Infiltration and Angiogenesis in the Peritumoral Brain Tissue of Brain Metastases

Complete resection is an indispensable treatment option in the management of brain metastases (BM). 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence is used for improved intraoperative visualization of tumor tissue in gliomas and was recently observed in BM. We investigated the potential of 5-ALA fluoresc...
