    Abstract Background/aim: A recommendation of radiotherapy for patients with malignant gliomas may trigger emotional distress. Frequency and risk factors of this complication were investigated.
    Patients and methods: Prevalence of six emotional problems and 11 potential risk factors were evaluated in 103 patients irradiated for grade II-IV gliomas. p-Values <0.0045 were considered significant.
    Results: Seventy-six patients (74%) had ≥1 emotional problem. Prevalence of specific emotional problems ranged between 23% and 63%. Associations were found between ≥5 physical problems and worry (p=0.0010), fear (p=0.0001), sadness (p=0.0023), depression (p=0.0006), and loss of interest (p=0.0006), and Karnofsky performance score ≤80 and depression (p=0.0002). Trends were found for physical problems and nervousness (p=0.040), age ≥60 years and depression (p=0.043) or loss of interest (p=0.045), grade IV glioma and sadness (p=0.042), and ≥2 involved sites and loss of interest (p=0.022).
    Conclusion: Three-fourths of glioma patients had pre-radiotherapy emotional distress. Psychological support should be offered very soon, particularly for high-risk patients.

    Abstract Background/aim: Standard radiotherapy (RT) for glioblastoma lasts 6 weeks. We aimed to identify patients who would benefit from a hypofractionated approach.
    Patients and methods: In 167 patients receiving standard fractionation, 10 factors were analyzed for local control (LC) and overall survival (OS). A survival score was developed and compared to a previous instrument.
    Results: On multivariate analysis, better LC was significantly associated with the presence of only one lesion and O
    Conclusion: A new survival score with higher accuracy was developed for patients with glioblastoma. Our model can be utilized to individualize RT dose-fractionation recommendations for glioblastoma.

    Abstract Background/aim: In a previous study investigating radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), significant or almost significant associations with survival were found for performance status, upfront resection, O
    Patients and methods: Most of the 81 patients included received resection of GBM followed by radiochemotherapy (59.4 Gy/33 or 60 Gy/30 fractions). The previously identified predictors of survival were re-evaluated. Factors significantly associated with survival were used for the score.
    Results: All factors were significantly associated with survival. For each factor, 0 points (less favorable survival) or 1 point (more favorable survival) were assigned and added for each patient. Three groups were designed, 0-1 (n=10), 2 (n=21) and 3-4 points (n=50); 12-month survival rates were 0%, 38% and 78% (p<0.001).
    Conclusion: A new survival score was created for patients requiring radiotherapy for GBM that can improve treatment personalization.

    Abstract The discrimination of tumor-infiltrated tissue from non-tumorous brain tissue during neurosurgical tumor excision is a major challenge in neurosurgery. It is critical to achieve full tumor removal since it directly correlates with the survival rate of the patient. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) might be an additional imaging method in the field of neurosurgery that enables the classification of different levels of tumor infiltration and non-tumorous tissue. This work investigated two OCT systems with different imaging wavelengths (930 nm/1310 nm) and different resolutions (axial (air): 4.9 μm/16 μm, lateral: 5.2 μm/22 μm) in their ability to identify different levels of tumor infiltration based on freshly excised

    Abstract Identifying tumour infiltration zones during tumour resection in order to excise as much tumour tissue as possible without damaging healthy brain tissue is still a major challenge in neurosurgery. The detection of tumour infiltrated regions so far requires histological analysis of biopsies taken from at expected tumour boundaries. The gold standard for histological analysis is the staining of thin cut specimen and the evaluation by a neuropathologist. This work presents a way to transfer the histological evaluation of a neuropathologist onto optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. OCT is a method suitable for real time

    Abstract Background: Because of their rarity, no prospective studies have been performed regarding gangliogliomas. The optimal treatment regimen is unclear. In this study, the authors compared 4 therapies for local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) in patients with ganglioglioma.
    Methods: In 402 patients with ganglioglioma, outcomes were compared for patients who underwent gross total resection alone (GTR) (n = 188), GTR plus radiotherapy (GTR + RT) (n = 21), subtotal resection alone (STR) (n = 113), and STR plus RT (STR + RT (n = 80). Age, sex, tumor site, and histologic grade also were investigated. Subgroup analyses were performed for both low-grade and high-grade tumors.
    Results: The 10-year LC rates were 89% after GTR, 90% after GTR + RT, 52% after STR, and 65% after STR + RT (P < .001); and the 10-year OS rates were 95%, 95%, 62%, and 74%, respectively (P < .001). After STR, irradiation significantly improved LC (P = .004) but not OS (P = .22). After GTR, irradiation did not significantly improve LC (P = .23) or OS (P = .29). On multivariate analyses, LC and OS were associated with therapy and pathologic grade, and OS also was associated with tumor site. In low-grade tumors, STR + RT resulted in better LC (P = .016) but not better OS (P = .18); and, after GTR, LC (P = .28) and OS (P = 1.0) were not improved with postoperative radiotherapy. In high-grade tumors, STR + RT resulted in better LC (P = .016) but not better OS (P = .41); after GTR, LC (P = .56) and OS (P = .61) were not improved with irradiation.
    Conclusions: According to this review, GTR should be performed whenever safely possible and does not require postoperative irradiation. If only STR is achieved, then RT improves LC of both low-grade and high-grade tumors and, thus, should be considered seriously.
