    Abstract:
    To reach good functional results in patients with spaceoccupying processes--especially with those localized in the dominant hemisphere operative treatment should be planned individually, which is impossible if all diagnostic assessments are followed by the same surgical procedure. The choice of appropriate method of therapy in case of brain tumor depends on various factors, such as the histological nature, extent and volume, relationship to the brain structures and vessels, and spatial form of the growth. The synthesis of all neuroradiological information from stereotactic exploration, together with the histological findings from stereotactic serial biopsies yields a three-dimensional representation of the brain with the tumor. This method seems to offer the optimal basis for the choice of appropriate treatment--especially for gliomas--between surgery, radiotherapy (external or/and interstitial), endocavitary radiation therapy or drainage.
