Abstract

Introduction Maximal resection of high-grade glioma (HGG) improves progression–free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Fluorescein sodium (FL) in combination with the YELLOW 560 nm filter (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany) is a safe and feasible method of visualizing residual tumor tissue during brain tumor resection. Research question We hypothesized that use of FL positively influenced ...
