  • Title: [Contribution of stereotactic methods to diagnosis and treatment of tumors of the pineal region (author's transl)].
    Author: Pecker J, Scarabin JM, Brucher JM, Vallee B.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 1978 Apr; 134(4):287-94. PubMed ID: 364590.
    Abstract:
    The respective role of surgical ablation versus palliative methods (i.e. shunting followed by irradiation) in the treatment of tumors of pineal region is still questionnable and must take into account the variability of their pathology. Thus, knowledge of tumoral type in each case is the first step to therapeutic discussion. The stereotactic methods allow a faithful biopsy, easy to interpret and without major risks.
