NF Center Researchers Use Novel Treatment for Brain Tumors
January 1, 2023
Dr. Kevin Cross, neurosurgery resident and National Institute of Health R25 grant awardee, recently published on the use of MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for deep-seated gliomas in two children with NF1. In this report, Dr. Cross describes the success in using LITT to treat thalamic gliomas, which were not amenable to surgery. In one of these children, the tumor progressed despite multiple rounds of chemotherapy.
