Abstract

Learning Objectives

• Importance of translational research
• Review how maximal resection of high-grade gliomas can impact patient survival
• Review unmet need for glioma resection
• Review how fluorescence-guided surgery can provide benefit to glioma patients
• Propose a new therapeutic intraoperative use for 5-ALA after fluorescence-guided surgery is completed
