RESUMEN

Within the many histological forms, the preservation of function in the central nervous system has always been predominant. However, the limited or null therapeutic interval for high grade gliomas enables organ preservation in small neoplasms only. In case of favorable histology (e.g. dysgerminoma, low grade small glioma), organ preservation is feasible with adequate techniques. When local control is predominant (e.g. neoplasms of eye) the techniques are long known but applied in very few Centers.
