WHAT GLIOLAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Gliolan is used for the visualisation of certain brain tumours (called
malignant glioma) during tumour
surgery.
Gliolan contains a substance called aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA). 5-ALA
accumulates preferably in
tumour cells where it is transformed into another similar substance.
If the tumour is then exposed to
blue light, this new substance emits a red-violet light which helps to
better see what is normal tissue
and what is tumour tissue. This helps the surgeon to remove the tumour
while sparing healthy tissue.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE GLIOLAN
DO NOT TAKE GLIOLAN
•
if you are allergic to 5-ALA or porphyrins.
•
in case of known or suspected acute or chronic types of porphyria
(i.e. inherited or acquired
disorders of certain enzymes in the synthesis pathway of red blood
pigment).
•
in case of known or suspected pregnancy.
