FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to neurosurgery, neurooncology, and can be used for the treatment of glial brain tumours of a supratentorial localisation. For this purpose photodithazine in a dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight is introduced to a patient 2 hours before the tumour ablation. After that, surgical access to the tumour is performed. The operation wound is illuminated by blue colour with a wavelength of 400 nm, and the tumour boundaries are determined by means of fluorescence of photodithazine, selectively accumulated in the tumour tissue. The tumour is ablated under control of the tumour luminescence in blue colour with the application of an operation microscope. After that, a flexible light guide from a radiation source with a wavelength of 662 nm and power of 2.0 W with a light dispersing nozzle is placed into the tumour bed and the perifocal zone of the tumour is irradiated. The dose of irradiation is determined by the disappearance of fluorescence.

EFFECT: method provides an increase of the treatment efficiency due to the reliable clear determination of the tumour tissue boundaries with the normal brain substance independent on the malignancy degree and character of the tumour growth, with an increase of its ablation radicality, as well as due to the destruction of cells, located in the perifocal zone.
