Background:
Super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is a life-threatening neurologic emergency defined as "status epilepticus (SE) that continues 24 hours or more after the onset of anesthesia, including those cases in which the SE recurs on the reduction or withdrawal of anesthesia," which occurs in 10% to 15% of patients with SE and rarely has been resolved surgically.
Case Descriptions:
A 20-year-old man with SRSE and a long history of left parieto-occipital oligoastrocytoma was admitted for convulsive SE that became SRSE and underwent lesionectomy guided by electrocorticography and neuronavigation for local tumor recurrence. Histopathologic diagnosis was oligoastrocytoma. SRSE was aborted and the patient recovered fully without any functional deficits.
Conclusions:
The lesionectomy guided by electrocorticography and neuronavigation should be considered as a treatment option for patients with SRSE.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
