Lessons Learned in Using Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy for Treatment of Brain Tumors: A Case Series of 238 Patients from a Single Institution.

Background: Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a novel, minimally invasive alternative to craniotomy, and as with any new technology, comes with a learning curve.

Objective: We present our experience detailing the evolution of this technology in our practice in one of the largest patient cohorts to date regarding LITT in neuro-oncology.

Methods: We reviewed 238 consecutive patients with brain tumor treated with LITT at our institution.
