Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive forms of brain tumor, characterized by a daunting prognosis with a life expectancy hovering around 12–16 months. Despite a century of relentless research, only a select few drugs have received approval for brain tumor treatment, largely due to the formidable barrier posed by the blood–brain barrier. The current standard of care involves a multifaceted approach combining surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy. However, recurrence often occurs within months despite these interventions. The formidable challenges of drug delivery to the brain and overcoming therapeutic resistance have become focal points in the treatment of brain tumors and are deemed essential to overcoming tumor recurrence. In recent years, a promising wave of advanced treatments has emerged, offering a glimpse of hope to overcome the limitations of existing therapies. This review aims to highlight cutting-edge technologies in the current and ongoing stages of development, providing patients with valuable insights to guide their choices in brain tumor treatment.

“…Compared to traditional stereotactic surgery, this technique offers higher safety and surgical precision. [7,8] However, there is a lack of clinical research on the use of enhanced CT, DTI, and 1H-MR-assisted robot-guided brain glioma biopsy. This study aims to statistically analyze the positive rate of pathological tissue, WHO grading, histological classi cation, and the reliability of intraoperative avoidance of important vessels and ber tracts in the context of enhanced CT, DTI, and 1H-MR-assisted robot-guided brain glioma biopsy.…”

Objective To explore the positive rate of pathological results and safety of enhanced CT, DTI, and 1H-MRS assisted robot-guided brain glioma biopsy. Methods Eighteen patients with imaging-diagnosed brain gliomas who underwent robot-guided brain glioma biopsy in the Department of Neurosurgery of Baise People's Hospital from January 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the study subjects. All patients underwent preoperative examinations such as enhanced CT, DTI, and 1H-MRS. The neurosurgical robot Reme-Studio automatically fused the image pictures, using the principles of enhanced CT vascular imaging points, DTI reconstructed conduction bundle three-dimensional stereograms, and 1H-MRS indicating the tumor cells, to perform robot-guided brain glioma biopsy. The specimens were sent to the pathology department for routine pathological results, and the positive rate of specimens and postoperative complications were recorded. Results All 18 patients obtained clear pathological grades, and no intracranial bleeding requiring emergency surgery or new-onset neurological dysfunction occurred after surgery. Conclusion Enhanced CT, DTI, and 1H-MRS assisted robot-guided brain glioma biopsy can accurately locate and puncture the metabolic hotspots of the edema zone, marginal zone, and tumor body CHo/NAA maximum value, avoiding important blood vessels and conduction bundles. It is not only an important method to improve the positive rate of pathological results but also safe and reliable.
