Prospective national and international clinical trials during recent decades have brought about progressive improvements in survival, and associated biological studies have advanced our understanding of tumor biology, in some cases allowing biological tumor characteristics to be harnessed for therapeutic benefit...
Brain Tumors in Older Adults 来自 钛学术 喜欢 0 阅读量: 10 作者: Gail Robinson 摘要: Neoplasm A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells. There are two broad categories of brain tumors. Primarybrain tumors arise from an abnormal proliferation of cells within the central nervous... DOI:...
The clinical difference between brain tumors in adults and children is striking. Compared with adults, pediatric tumor types (mostly glial and neuronal) are more sensitive to adjuvant irradiation and chemotherapy. Pediatric tumors more often require craniospinal irradiation based on their propensity to ...
Forget about all the fears and just thank God that your child will do well. Even if theMRIorCAT scanshows a large cyst with surrounding tumor or a tumor “nodule” in the wall of the cyst, the surgery can go well. When the tumor is the more aggressive type, the outcome depends on ...
The treatment of malignant brain tumors in infants and very young children: an update of the Pediatric Oncology Group experience. The survival of infants and very young children with brain tumors is signicantly worse than that of older children, both overall and within specic tumor types. Not ...
Brain tumors can occur at any age, but it is mostly seen in young children and older adults. It is the eighth most common cancer The brain tumor is the eighth most common cancer among persons over the age of 40+. Survival rates might vary Survival rates depend on a variety of factors,...
It is thus possible that the apparent decrease in survival from brain tumours in adults of both sexes, and the reversal of the deprivation gap in men, as well as the increase in incidence, especially of patients with poor survival, may be the result of diagnostic exclusion of stroke and cer...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor that can evade the surveillance mechanisms of the immune system, making it difficult to treat. The type 2 immune response is a complex mechanism that can be either beneficial or detrimental to cancer growth, depending on the context...
In addition, the main etiologies of increased T2-relaxation values in the brain are vasogenic edema, demyelination, gliosis, or neuronal loss [17,18,19], observed in tumor [20], chronic epilepsy [21], congenital central hypoventilation syndrome [22], traumatic brain injury [23], and ...
The findings have prompted the team to begin investigating primary cilia's role not only in other subsets of medulloblastomas but also in glioblastomas, the most common brain tumor in adults, with an eye toward identifying a diagnostic strategy and therapeutic targets. ...
