3. Biopsy in diffuse brainstem glioma: Results of 15 cases at Viet Duc Hospital

Tran Dat, Dong Van He, Nguyen Duy Hung

Main Article Content

Abstract

Biopsy of diffuse brain stem gliomas has been a controversial issue among neurosurgeons. We conducted this study to describe the indications, procedures and evaluation of the results of surgical biopsy of diffuse brain stem glioma. The study was conductedin 15 patients from Viet Duc Friendship Hospital who had diffuse brain stem glioma and underwent surgical biopsy of the tumor under microsurgery through craniotomy between January 2020 and August 2022.
