Abstract

  Current technologies used for glioblastoma resection seems to improve accuracy in achieving gross total resection but overall survival has been similar in the last decades with only minimal improvement. Non-enhancing areas on contrast enhanced T1-weighted MRI images has the highest density of viable malignant cells and MRI sequences are not tumor specific, making complete resection of the tumor and obtaining better survival very difficult despite the current combination of treatments. In this article we review the latest technological advances that attempt to improve tumor resection to prolong survival time.

Keywords: Gross Total Resection (GTR); Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM); Blood Brain Barrier (BBB)
