FL400 fluorescence with 5-ALA allows differentiation of tumor tissue from healthy brain tissue to support precise resection.
When resecting a malignant glioma, maximum removal of tumor cells with minimal impact to brain tissue is key to an optimal patient outcome. This is where FL400 fluorescence can provide support. In combination with the active substance 5 aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), it helps distinguish both the bulk and margins of the tumor more easily. More visual information helps you to confidently perform a resection.
