Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT)

Overview

Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive technique for brain tumor treatment that enables surgeons to precisely target tumors that are difficult to reach with traditional methods.

Also referred to as MRI-guided laser ablation, LITT is performed by guiding a laser catheter directly into the tumor and then heating it to ablate the unhealthy tissue.
