malignant central nervous system tumors and are the commonest surgically treated brain tumor worldwide. There is increasing evidence that maximal safe surgical resection of HGG impacts on overall survival. The delineation of tumor tissue (and hence the extent of resection) is improved by the use of intraoperative tumor fluorescence, which is achieved by preoperative oral administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid. This however relies on the surgeon developing a skillset of operating under different light conditions for which specific training and experience are required. METHODS: We propose a novel, affordable, and highly adaptable model for recreating these surgical conditions and thus simulate fluorescence-guided HGG resection outside the operating theater for trainee neuro-oncological surgeons. We present a model incorporating plant-based polysaccharides, doped with protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), into cadaveric brains of animals. RESULTS: We show that the concentrations of polymer and PpIX
