Abstract |
Background |
When feasible, the surgical resection is the standard first step of the management of high-grade gliomas. 5-ALA fluorescence-guided-surgery (5-ALA-FGS) was developed to ease the intra-operative delineation of tumor borders in order to maximize the extent of resection.
Methods |
A Medline electronic database search was conducted. English language studies from January 1998 until July 2018 were included, following the PRISMA guidelines.
Results |
5-ALA can be considered as a specific tool for the detection of tumor remnant but has a weaker sensibility (level 2). 5-ALA-FGS is associated with a significant increase in the rate of gross total resection reaching more than 90% in some series (level 1). Consistently, 5-ALAFGS improves progression-free survival (level 1). However, the gain in overall survival is more debated. The use of 5-ALA-FGS in eloquent areas is feasible but requires simultaneous intraoperative electrophysiologic functional brain monitoring to precisely locate and preserve eloquent areas (level 2). 5-ALA is usable during the first resection of a glioma but also at recurrence (level 2). From a practical standpoint, 5-ALA is orally administered 3 hours before the induction of anesthesia, the recommended dose being 20 mg/kg. Intra-operatively, the procedure is performed as usually with a central debulking and a peripheral dissection during which the surgeon switches from white to blue light. Provided that some precautions are observed, the technique does not expose the patient to particular complications.
Conclusion |
Although 5-ALA-FGS contributes to improve gliomas management, there are still some limitations. Future methods will be developed to improve the sensibility of 5-ALA-FGS.
