About
Pascale Varlet is a leading neuropathologist whose research centers on the precision and safety of stereotactic brain biopsies, particularly for diffuse gliomas. Her major contributions lie in refining the diagnostic yield and minimizing complications of robot-assisted stereotactic procedures. In a landmark study of 377 consecutive patients, she demonstrated the high diagnostic yield and safety of robot-assisted biopsies for supratentorial diffuse gliomas, a work that has garnered 27 citations. She has also critically investigated the causes of postoperative intracerebral haematomas, distinguishing between poor planning and poor execution to improve surgical outcomes. Most recently, her 21-year retrospective analysis of over 1,600 robot-assisted biopsies identified key risk factors for non-diagnostic biopsies, providing essential guidance for patient selection and procedural technique. With a career spanning decades, Varlet’s work has directly shaped neurosurgical standards, offering evidence-based strategies to enhance both the accuracy and safety of brain tumor diagnosis.
