Interesting discovery: A dye will help neurosurgeons to get complete
resection surgeries for brain tumors.
A new
study in 99 patients with suspected high-grade (fast-growing) gliomas were colored
after given a drink containing 5-ALA before surgery. "The beauty of 5-ALA
is that neuro-surgeons can see where high-grade glioma is, while they're
operating.". The use of 5-ALA will
help to get complete resection of the brain tumors and increase the chance of
cur in these patients.
