Interstitial brachytherapy with iodine-125 seeds for low grade brain stem gliomas in adults: Diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in a one-step procedure
Conclusion: In our experience at the University Clinic in Freiburg Germany, interstitial radiosurgery based on MRI is a safe and effective method to diagnose and treat low grade gliomas of the brain stem. Furthermore randomized studies are needed to confirm the therapeutic impact of this method in comparison to external beam radiation of brain stem gliomas.
