“…Being diagnosed with a brain tumor is associated with psychosocial distress [4,17,18]. Irrespective of the prognosis, patients are prone to psychological comorbidities such as adjustment disorder and depression [4,12].…”

“…Nonetheless, when objective neuropsychological assessments have been performed in tumor patients (for a review, see Klein et al 83 ), visuospatial, memory, attention, planning, learning, emotional, motivational, and behavioral deficits have regularly been observed after brain surgery. 3,4,11,12,19,29,55,70,74,75,78,82,87,90,91,101,102,108,111,113,125,137,141,142,149,154 Because these postoperative deficits may have consequences for quality of life, they should lead physicians to change awake surgery paradigms to prevent such permanent cognitive impairments. Indeed, it was recently demonstrated that an increase in reaction time on the picture-naming task, even with normal scores, could prevent patients from returning to normal professional activities.…”

Intraoperative electrical brain mapping is currently the most reliable method to identify eloquent cortical and subcortical structures at the individual level and to optimize the extent of resection of intrinsic brain tumors. The technique allows the preservation of quality of life, not only allowing avoidance of severe neurological deficits but also facilitating preservation of high neurocognitive functions. To accomplish this goal, however, it is crucial to optimize the selection of appropriate intraoperative tasks, given the limited intrasurgical awake time frame. In this review, the authors' aim was to propose specific parameters that could be used to build a personalized protocol for each patient. They have focused on lesion location and relationships with functional networks to guide selection of intrasurgical tasks in an effort to increase reproducibility among neurooncological centers.

“…Executive difficulties with organising, initiating, directing, monitoring and controlling interpersonal behaviour can make it difficult to function personally and professionally [15,16]. Despite what can be drastic 4 personality changes, patients with frontal tumours may be unaware that their behaviour has changed or is socially inappropriate [17,10].…”

Purpose: Patients and relatives experiences of behavioural and personality changes following brain tumour were assessed to determine whether these changes are more prominent in the experience of patients with frontal tumours and their relatives as a first step to evaluate the need to develop appropriate support and management of such changes, which have a substantial impact on social functioning, and ultimately to improve quality of life. 3 Methods
