Objective assessment of intraoperative tumor fluorescence reveals biological heterogeneity within glioblastomas: a biometric study

ConclusionsFluorescence may miss important tumor areas even if objective assessment is used. Histologically similar tumor areas may exhibit contrasting fluorescence properties, a phenomenon which needs further investigation and elucidation of underlying mechanisms which could potentially be manipulated to optimize the utility of fluorescence guidance.
