Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has been used for brain metastasis, epilepsy, and necrosis, as well as gliomas as a minimally invasive treatment for many years. With the improvement of the thermal monitoring and ablation precision, especially the application of magnetic resonance (MR) thermography in the procedure and the available two commercial laser systems nowadays, LITT is gradually accepted by more neurosurgical centers. Recently, some new concepts, for example the adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation following LITT, the combination of immunotherapy and LITT regarding the glioma treatment are proposed and currently being investigated. The aim of this study is to summarize the evolution of LITT especially for brain gliomas and a possible outlook of the future.
