Extent of resection and survival in glioblastoma multiforme: identification of and adjustment for bias.

TLDR
The present data provide Level 2b evidence (Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine) that survival depends on complete resection of enhancing tumor in glioblastoma multiforme and treatment bias was demonstrated regarding resection and second-line therapies.
Abstract
Treatment bias was demonstrated regarding resection and second-line therapies. However, bias and imbalances were controllable in the cohorts available from the 5-aminolevulinic acid study so that the present data now provide Level 2b evidence (Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine) that survival depends on complete resection of enhancing tumor in glioblastoma multiforme.

Malignant Gliomas in Adults

TL;DR: The authors found that approximately 5% of patients with malignant gliomas have a family history of glioma and most of these familial cases are associated with rare genetic syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2, the Li−Fraumeni syndrome (germ-line p53 mutations associated with an increased risk of several cancers), and Turcot's syndrome (intestinal polyposis and brain tumors).

An extent of resection threshold for newly diagnosed glioblastomas.

TL;DR: For patients with newly diagnosed GBMs, aggressive EOR equates to improvement in overall survival, even at the highest levels of resection, and stepwise improvement in survival was evident even in the 95%-100% EOR range.

Epidemiologic and Molecular Prognostic Review of Glioblastoma

TL;DR: The current epidemiology of GBM is reported with new data from the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States 2006 to 2010 as well as demonstrate and discuss trends in incidence and survival.

Impact of Intraoperative Stimulation Brain Mapping on Glioma Surgery Outcome: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: Glioma resections using ISM are associated with fewer late severe neurologic deficits and more extensive resection, and they involve eloquent locations more frequently, indicating that ISM should be universally implemented as standard of care for glioma surgery.

Intraoperative MRI guidance and extent of resection in glioma surgery: a randomised, controlled trial

TL;DR: This study provides evidence for the use of intraoperative MRI guidance in glioma surgery: such imaging helps surgeons provide the optimum extent of resection.

Fluorescence-guided surgery with 5-aminolevulinic acid for resection of malignant glioma: a randomised controlled multicentre phase III trial.

TL;DR: Tumour fluorescence derived from 5-aminolevulinic acid enables more complete resections of contrast-enhancing tumour, leading to improved progression-free survival in patients with malignant glioma.

Interrater Reliability of the NIH Stroke Scale

TL;DR: The interobserver reliability of a rating scale employed in several multicenter stroke trials was investigated and compares favorably with other scales for which such comparisons can be made.

Fluorescence-guided resection of glioblastoma multiforme by using 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced porphyrins: a prospective study in 52 consecutive patients.

TL;DR: The usefulness of 5-ALA-induced tumor fluorescence for guiding tumor resection on postoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and survival in patients who underwent surgery in the authors' department is indicated.
