Background: This study aimed to investigate the value of high field-strength intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI)-guided stereotactic biopsy in the surgery of intracranial space-occupying lesions.
Methods: A total of 87 patients who underwent stereotactic biopsy of intracranial lesions in the Peking University International Hospital from March 2016 to August 2018 were retrospectively surveyed; among these, 50 patients underwent MRI-guided stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell frame (iMRI group) and 37 cases received traditional stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell frame (control group). The accuracy rates and complications of the two groups were compared.
Results: A 100% positive diagnosis was observed in all cases ( = 50) in the iMRI group. In 4 cases, the biopsy site was clearly found to have deviated from the target point, and the biopsy was performed again. The control group had 33 cases (86.5%) with positive diagnosis. No severe complications like neural functional deficit were observed in the iMRI group, while two patients developed bleeding at the puncture site (1 case receiving surgery to remove the hematoma) in the control group. There were no deaths in either group.
Conclusion: iMRI-assisted stereotactic biopsy can confirm the target position and adjust the puncture path in real time. Compared to the traditional stereotactic biopsy technique, the iMRI method has a higher positive diagnostic rate, though surgical trauma and complications have no significant difference.

Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used for managing brain metastases (BMs), but an adverse effect, radionecrosis, complicates post-SRS management. Differentiating radionecrosis from tumor recurrence non-invasively remains a major clinical challenge, as conventional imaging techniques often necessitate surgical biopsy for accurate diagnosis. Machine learning and deep learning models have shown potential in distinguishing radionecrosis from tumor recurrence.

Neurosarcoidosis (NS) is a rare form of sarcoidosis, with isolated hypothalamic-pituitary involvement being exceptionally uncommon. We report a 20-year-old woman presenting with polyuria, galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and substantial weight loss. Hormonal evaluation revealed hypopituitarism with arginine-vasopressin deficiency and hyperprolactinemia.

Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most common and aggressive brain tumors, with a poor prognosis. Effective preclinical models are crucial to investigate GBM biology and develop novel treatments. Syngeneic models, which consist in injecting murine GBM cells into mice with a similar genetic background, offer reproducibility, cost-effectiveness, and an intact immune system, making them ideal for immunotherapy research.

Stereotactic biopsy of posterior fossa lesions, which are often inoperable, enables a safe trajectory and provides tissue samples for accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for correct treatment since the latest World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System from 2021 places immense emphasis on molecular diagnostics. Stereotactic biopsy using the Leksell Vantage headframe is, due to its rigid design, extremely accurate, but stiffer, making the procedure more challenging and the learning curve steeper. This retrospective analysis demonstrates the introduction of the new Leksell Vantage headframe in day-to-day practice at the University Medical Center in Maribor, Slovenia, in demanding procedures of posterior fossa biopsies, and also provides a review of the literature available on the topic with emphasis on the technical aspect of posterior fossa biopsy using the Leksell Vantage headframe in adults.

Background: The current standard of care (SoC) for patients with extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) is chemo-immunotherapy. The efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) for chest consolidation has been established for patients with ED-SCLC who have responded to chemotherapy. There is a lack of data on incorporating RT as chest consolidation and metastasis-directed therapy for ED-SCLC.
