Abstract

Pineal region tumors can be difficult to biopsy, given the critical structures in the location of the pineal gland. Modern computerized imaging techniques like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging used in association with tumor markers and the age at presentation may enable treatment without biopsy using a rational treatment algorithm.

摘要

鉴于松果体区域存在重要结构，松果体区肿瘤的活检可能会很困难。诸如计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像等现代计算机成像技术，结合肿瘤标志物和发病年龄，或许可以通过合理的治疗算法在不进行活检的情况下开展治疗。
