AANS Beyond 2023: Team Member Collection-AANS/CNS Section on Tumors Session

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the first video, the speakers discuss the use of preoperative imaging and intraoperative techniques to guide surgical planning and ensure accurate tumor removal while preserving critical structures. They utilize endoscopic endonasal approaches and neuromonitoring to enhance surgical outcomes and maintain patients' quality of life.<br /><br />The second video focuses on the complex role of the KL4 gene in meningioma. It acts as an oncogene in benign meningioma cells and a tumor suppressor in malignant cells. The regulation of this switch is influenced by microRNAs, LinkRNAs, and the LinkIAe. These findings suggest the potential for targeting the KL4 gene in future therapeutic approaches.<br /><br />In the third video, the speakers discuss cellar tumor management, including surgical challenges, radiation therapy, and post-operative complications. They emphasize the importance of understanding tumor consistency and pathology during surgery and considering various factors in selecting the appropriate treatment modality, such as tumor size, location, and patient preferences. Strategies for avoiding post-operative complications, specifically CSF leak and delayed hyponatremia, are also discussed.<br /><br />Overall, these videos provide valuable insights into different aspects of tumor management and highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
