研究目的
To compare 12-mo outcomes from all subjects undergoing LITT for intracranial tumors/neoplasms.
研究成果
Data in this first outcome analysis of the LAANTERN registry show that the overall survival in this population of patients with brain tumors reflects similar if not improved outcomes to those previously reported for a population of patients with mostly recurrent disease. Patient-reported QoL outcomes were also stabilized and better than expected in a population with malignant brain tumors.
研究不足
Because LAANTERN is a standard of care registry, data are not available for all timepoints or patients. This is a limitation of the registry and something all standard-of-care studies are impacted by; however, the demographics and attrition are representatives of patients and experiences described in other publications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A multisite, prospective registry enrolled subjects across 20 centers using the FDA-cleared NeuroBlate System (Monteris Medical) for LITT procedures.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Subjects were enrolled based on undergoing LITT for intracranial tumors/neoplasms, with no other exclusion criteria.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
NeuroBlate System (Monteris Medical) employing a robotically controlled 1064-nm laser probe and MRI thermometry.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Surgical technique, preplanning, and biopsy at the time of LITT were performed as standard of care at each participating institution.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method for survival analysis and the Cox proportional hazard model for correlative analyses.
