Intracranial Gliomas Part I - Surgery

Description

Aggressive surgical removal is generally considered the main initial management option for most intracranial gliomas. It often results in resolution or alleviation of neurological symptoms and signs, normalizes intracranial pressure, facilitates characterization of the neoplasm, creates optimal conditions for adjuvant therapy and neurorehabilitation, and leads to prolongation of progression-free and overall survival of patients. Leading experts in neurosurgical oncology have contributed to this volume, highlighting modern principles of surgery for both newly-diagnosed and recurrent intracranial gliomas in adult as well as pediatric patients. The first of a three-volume set, it details epidemiological aspects, defines the importance of preoperative imaging, and describes current perioperative adjuvant needs. In addition, contemporary methods of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring, the value of brain mapping for functional preservation, tips to prevent complications, and postoperative results are presented and discussed. This book and its accompanying volumes are mainly directed at neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists and other clinicians treating patients with brain tumors.

Preface
With this, the first of three consecutive volumes of Progress in Neurological Surgery devoted to current management of intracranial gliomas, we present to the medical community Part I, dedicated to surgical treatment. After decades of debate and study, aggressive removal is now considered as a foundational and initiating step in the control of brain tumors of both low- and high-grade. Such resection allows resolution of the neurological symptoms and signs by relieving mass effect and normalizing intracranial pressure; it facilitates histopathological diagnosis and detailed molecular characterization of the neoplasm; it creates optimal conditions for adjuvant therapy and neurorehabilitation; and thus prolongs both progression-free survival and overall survival of patients, and improves their quality of life. In this volume, leading experts in neurosurgical oncology from three continents discuss modern principles of surgery for both newly diagnosed and recurrent tumors arising in various brain regions in adult and pediatric patients. Description of several presented techniques is illustrated by accompanying videos.
The opening chapter of Ostrom et al. reviews epidemiological aspects and analyzes potential risk factors for glioma development. Moving from causation to detection, Ono et al. have provided an extensive review on radiological diagnosis emphasizing a multifaceted approach that combines multiple neuroimaging modalities. The rationale for aggressive tumor removal and general surgical principles are presented by McCutcheon and Chernov. The ensuing discussion of Dakson et al. highlights the current (and increasingly important) role of virtual reality simulation in neurosurgery and its particular application to preoperative planning of glioma resection. Saito et al. exhaustively describe contemporary methods of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and brain mapping during brain tumor removal. In subsequent chapters Ferguson and McCutcheon, Duffau, and Hori et al. share their extensive clinical experience with the surgery of gliomas located in highly eloquent brain areas, and each provides important technical tips and pearls for preventing complications and preserving function during resection of neoplasms. Nuances of surgery in pediatric patients are discussed by Balogun and Rutka. As longer survivals achieved by innovative medical therapies and by radiotherapy have led to growing interest in re-operation for recurrent intracranial gliomas, Ferguson et al. review the difficulties and opportunities associated with the diagnosis and resection of such tumors. Finally, Patel et al. analyze the contemporary role of tumor tissue sampling attained with stereotactic, open, or endoscopic procedures.
The first of the two core messages of all chapters included in this volume is that maximizing the degree of resection of intracranial gliomas has a strong positive impact on surgical, oncological, and functional outcome. The second is that maximal resection is only worthwhile when maximal safety is also achieved. Striking the right balance between these two essential goals requires all the artistry, and all the science, that a modern tumor neurosurgeon can command.
Our thanks, first and foremost, go to the many contributors to this volume who agreed to share their knowledge and clinical experience, and who dedicated their time to preparing the manuscripts; and to the team at Karger Publishers who provided superb organizational assista
