LITT for Ultra-early GBM Recurrence

Brief Summary

Glioblastoma (GBM) remains aggressive despite standard therapy (surgery (CRET) + RT/CT). Over 40% of patients develop recurrence between surgery and pre-RT MRI, with median overall survival (OS) of 13.3m and 24.4m for patients with and without recurrence in pre-RT MRI, respectively. Reoperation is avoided as it delays adjuvant therapy. LITT offers a minimally invasive alternative that may: * Treat recurrence without delaying RT/CT * Potentially sensitize tumors to subsequent therapy This study tests if LITT can be practically integrated within the critical 1-week window between pre-RT MRI and radiotherapy initiation, maintaining the adjuvant schedule.
