Survival after resection of brain metastases with white light microscopy versus fluorescence-guidance: A matched cohort analysis of the Metastasys study data.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of 5-ALA did not result in lower in-brain recurrence or mortality compared to the use of white light microscopy. The most prominent predictors of survival remain favorable preoperative performance status, a low tumor diameter and the absence of multiple cerebral lesions. PMID: 32850007 [PubMed]
