- Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LiTT) - Johns Hopkins Medicine
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LiTT) is a minimally invasive procedure that is most commonly used to treat epilepsy, brain tumors and a condition called radiation necrosis The treatment uses heat to ablate (destroy) cancer cells, areas of dead tissue or a brain lesion where seizures begin
- What is Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)? Know Before . . .
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is an emerging technique to treat primary and metastatic brain tumors that can be hard to reach with conventional surgery LITT is performed by implanting a laser catheter into the tumor and heating it to temperatures high enough to kill the tumor
- Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) - Duke Health
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small laser to destroy unhealthy brain tissue It is a treatment option for certain brain tumors, radiation necrosis, and epilepsy
- Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) | UCSF Brain Tumor Center
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT, also called MRI-guided laser ablation) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows surgeons to precisely target and ablate tumor tissue A laser can be directed to a defined area in the brain, using a thin fiber that is guided to the tumor tissue
- Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy - UCSF Health
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive technique that allows surgeons to precisely target and destroy brain tumors without harm to surrounding healthy tissue In a process called ablation, the heat generated by a small laser is used to kill the cancer cells
- Laser interstitial thermal therapy - Northwell Health
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally-invasive neurosurgical procedure that uses high heat to inactivate areas of tissue in the brain or other parts of the body
- Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) for Brain Tumors and Lesions
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) — also known as MRI-guided laser thermal ablation — is a minimally invasive neurosurgical thermal therapy that uses focused laser energy to destroy abnormal brain tissue while sparing healthy tissue
- Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy - University of Maryland Medical System
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat brain tumors and lesions It uses a small laser to heat and destroy the problem areas LITT offers patients a faster recovery time and less pain than traditional surgery
