The Brain Tumor Group (BTG) of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) conducts academic clinical trials and translational research to improve clinical management of patients with primary and secondary brain tumors. The EORTC BTG has traditionally played an important role in providing evidence and thus advancing the field, albeit with a main focus on radiotherapy and pharmacotherapy in gliomas. Although examples of well-designed neuro-oncological surgical trials can be found, evidence in surgical neuro-oncology predominantly includes data from uncontrolled prospective series or retrospective cohorts.

Background: Supratotal-Resection (SpTR) is a promising surgical strategy in Lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). SpTR assessment, feasibility and distinctive features, as well as clinical benefit at first and second surgery and on overall-survival must be better characterized. The critical percentage of resection exceeding FLAIR margins to obtain clinical benefit and its impact on long-term functional performance are also undefined.

Background: Gliomas, the most common primary brain tumours, are classified based on histology and molecular genetics. Glioblastomas (GBM) are highly aggressive and are graded as WHO grade 4, while astrocytoma and oligodendrogliomas fall under WHO grades 2-3 (4). Gliomas affect 6 per 100,000 people, with a higher incidence in men.

Unlabelled: Harnessing the neuroplastic potential of the human brain is being increasingly recognized as an important neuro-oncological paradigm to facilitate safe resection of brain tumors while preserving neurological function and quality of life. Interventional neurorehabilitation, employing both invasive and noninvasive neuromodulation techniques, represents an important emerging therapeutic strategy to induce or enhance neural plasticity to promote functional recovery in brain tumor patients. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive review of interventional neurorehabilitation techniques for glioma patients.

Giant cell tumors (GCTs) of bone are classified as intermediate malignant tumors with a significant potential for local infiltration. Despite their benign histopathological appearance, these tumors exhibit extreme local aggression. The sacrum is the most commonly affected spinal region, followed by the lumbar, cervical, and thoracic regions.
