## Background: The goal of treating patients with malignant gliomas by intracranial surgery has been to remove as much tumor as possible without causing new neurologic deficits. however, it is still debatable whether the degree of surgical resection correlates with survival times of patients with s

The overall prognosis for patients with malignant gliomas remains poor. The infiltrative nature of the tumor into normal brain and the presence of tumor foci in regions remote from the main tumor burden make cure with current therapies virtually impossible. Management therefore consists of tumor con
Refinement of neurosurgical technique has enabled safer operations with more aggressive outcomes. One cornerstone of modern-day practice is the utilization of intraoperative stimulation mapping. In addition to identifying critical motor pathways, this technique can be adapted to reliably identify la
Seventeen patients less than or equal to 20 years of age with newly diagnosed (n = 10) or recurrent (n = 7) malignant gliomas (anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme) were treated with cyclophosphamide in association with hematopoietic cytokines (GM-CSF or G-CSF). Cyclophosphamide was gi
## Abstract ## Background. The relative importance of surgery within multimodality regimens commonly used to treat advanced sinonasal malignancies remains unknown. ## Methods. One hundred two patients with locally advanced sinonasal cancers treated with proton beam radiation therapy with or with
