The aim of this study was to assess the clinical value of O-(2- 18 F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine ( 18
F-FET) PET in the initial diagnosis of cerebral lesions suggestive of glioma. Methods: In a …

In glioma of World Health Organization (WHO) grade II (low-grade glioma), the natural
course of a particular patient is not predictable and the treatment strategy is controversial. We …

The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of positron emission
tomography (PET) using [ 18 F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) and O-(2-[ 18 F]fluoroethyl)-l-…

OBJECTIVE: Diffuse gliomas may harbor anaplastic foci which affect prognosis and determine
adjuvant therapies. Such foci are not always detected by contrast-enhancement on MRI. …

The aim of this study was to explore the differential diagnostic value of PET using the amino
acid O-(2- 18 F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine ( 18 F-FET) in patients with newly diagnosed solitary …

Purpose 5-Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-based fluorescence-guided surgery was shown to
be beneficial for cerebral malignant gliomas. Extension of this technique for resection of …

Somatic gene therapy with the herpes simplex virus type I thymidine kinase gene/ganciclovir
(HSV-Tk/GCV) system and murine retroviral vector producer cells (VPCs) was introduced …

Objective Our aim was to identify the impact of different surgical strategies on the incidence
of C5 palsy. Background Degenerative cervical spinal stenosis is a steadily increasing …

Spinal cord or cauda equina compression (SCC) is an increasing challenge in clinical oncology
due to a higher prevalence of long-term cancer survivors. Our aim was to determine the …

Progress in morphological imaging has facilitated the diagnosis of low-grade glioma (LGG)
and plays a decisive role in therapeutic decisions. To date, the method of choice is contrast-…
