Combined use of multimodal techniques for the resection of glioblastoma involving corpus callosum.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the multimodal techniques (including neuronavigation, intraoperative MRI [iMRI], and neuromonitoring [IONM]) and conventional approach (only guided by neuronavigation) in removing glioblastoma (GBM) with corpus callosum (CC) involvement (ccGBM), their effectiveness and safety were analyzed and compared.

Methods

Electronic medical records were retrospectively reviewed for ccGBM cases treated in our hospital between January 2016 and July 2020. Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, clinical outcomes, extent of resection (EOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were obtained and compared between the multimodal group (used multimodal techniques) and the conventional group (only used neuronavigation). Both groups only included pat
