Official title
LITT for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Central Nervous System Tumors Located in Difficult to Surgically Access Regions of the Brain and Recurrent/Resistant Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumors Located Anywhere Within the Brain
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows for biopsy and thermal ablation of brain tumors. Pediatric patients with brain tumors who are eligible and enroll in the trial will undergo LITT at the time of diagnosis or at the time of recurrence/progression rather than undergo an open craniotomy and tumor resection/biopsy. LITT will include a stereotactic biopsy followed by thermal ablation of the tumor. This study will monitor the safety and efficacy of LITT for the treatment of pediatric brain tumors.
