ZEISS released a new clinical case report on glioblastoma treatment using ZEISS Tumor Workflow. The report was presented by Bernhard Meyer, MD, Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery at Klinikum rechts der Isar, Technical University Munich, Germany, together with the Department of Neuropathology and Radiation Oncology.

The report details the successful treatment of a 65-year-old patient who was presented with a malign intra-axial lesion in a highly eloquent area. The case was particularly challenging as the microsurgical removal had to be tailored to the lesion‘s exact anatomical characteristics.

For the first time, the interdisciplinary network of specialists has applied the ZEISS Tumor Workflow — a three-step approach combining standard fluorescence and navigation-guided neurosurgery with confocal endomicroscopy and intraoperative radiotherapy, both applied directly in the operating room.

The report compiles a comprehensive presentation of this treatment approach — from the introduction of the case to the disease management and set-up of the operating room to individual details of each treatment set, including MRI, application and OR images.
