Innovations in Brain Tumor Surgery: Techniques and Outcomes

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Brain tumors represent a diverse and challenging category of diseases that require specialized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Advancements in imaging, surgery, radiation therapy, and drug development are improving outcomes for many patients. However, the prognoses remain largely dependent on the tumor type and stage, and continued research is crucial for developing more effective treatments. This Topic focuses on the latest advancements in the field of brain tumor surgery, highlighting groundbreaking techniques and their impact on patient outcomes. As brain tumor treatments continue to evolve, a key focus of the issue is the role of innovative technologies in improving the precision, safety, and efficacy of surgical interventions. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Advances in Preoperative Planning and Imaging;
• Cutting-Edge Intraoperative Technologies;
• Personalized Surgical Approaches;
• Postoperative Advancements;
• Clinical Outcomes and Future Directions.

We encourage submissions of original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that present important developments in brain tumor surgery, leading to more precise, effective, and less invasive treatments. The ongoing development and integration of new tools and techniques will continue to enhance our ability to treat complex brain tumors, ultimately improving patient outcomes and survival rates.
