Future RFA studies should consider tumor size, operative technique, and tumor type in trial design.
One common theme discussed in the literature is that regardless of the technique used and tumor size, preservation of olfactory or visual function ipsilateral to the location of the tumor has a very poor outcome.
New modalities of treatment, characterization of the tumor's microenvironment, developing intraoperative innovative techniques, and targeting tumor-specific receptors are all disciplines on the cutting edge of glioblastoma research, the results of which will hopefully lead to marked improvements in outcome.
Within 15 minutes of its dissection and removal, the tumor was homogenized with a tissue homogenizer (PowerGen Model 125; Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) using aseptic technique, and the tumor cells were washed three times and suspended in sterile PBS (Mediatech, Inc. Herndon, VA). for a total volume of 0.4 ml per injection.
However, improved assay techniques and consideration of tumor heterogeneity are necessary to confirm this.
We show how the tumor and host cells can be visualized in situ using advanced imaging techniques and how the tumor-host cellular compartments can be phenotyped and completely separated for further genomic and proteomic analyses.
Besides radiation technique, socioeconomic status, comorbidity, and tumor site were also found to be significant prognosticators on HR-QoL outcome.
Tumor discovery is mainly based on medical imaging techniques (MRI, CT, or PET), and tumor diagnosis is done by histopathological examination on biopsied or resected tumor tissues.
None of the patients experienced septal perforation, nasal valve incompetence, or tumor recurrence.We presented evidence that TACMI was a simple, efficient, and effective technique for tumor transposition, and for pedicle visualization and access of challenging unilateral sinonasal lesions.
