5-Aminolevulinic Acid Is a Promising Marker for Detection of Anaplastic Foci in Diffusely Infiltrating Gliomas With Nonsignificant Contrast Enhancement.

The article reports on the study which aims to clarify the efficacy of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) in detecting the anaplastic foci in diffusely infiltrating gliomas with nonsignificant contrast enhancement. It notes that the 5-ALA is a promising marker that ensures the accuracy of tissue sampling for primary brain tumors. It implies that the 5-ALA is capable of optimizing the allocation of adjuvant treatments to patients due to its unaffected intraoperative brain shift.
