Laser interstitial thermal therapy for IDH wild-type recurrent glioblastoma: a Scandinavian two-center cohort study
LITT was feasible and well tolerated in this two-center Scandinavian cohort, with short hospitalization and low morbidity. Survival outcomes were within the range reported in previous international series. While these findings provide preliminary real-world data on LITT use within Scandinavian publicly funded healthcare systems, the limited sample size and retrospective design preclude definitive conclusions. Prospective, controlled studies are warranted to clarify the clinical role of LITT in recurrent glioblastoma.
