ABSTRACT
One of the innovative principles in glioblastoma surgery consists in making the tumour fluorescent in order for it to be more easily visualised during the procedure. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) undergoes an enzyme transformation, turning into another molecule, protoporphyrine IX (PPIX) whose property is fluorescence. It emits red light when it is stimulated by blue light.
