Brain metastasis may require complex multidisciplinary care with neurosurgery, radiation oncology, and medical oncology.Conclusion: The treatment of brain tumors is influenced by various considerations such as age, patient condition,neurological deficits, location of the tumor, comorbidities, experience of ...
Data suggest that when activated by glioma cells, microglia have reduced phagocytic potential compared to microglia in homeostasis [141,142,143]. These findings provide early proof that microglia are reprogrammed in the tumor microenvironment. However, even under normal conditions, microglia in different...
Disparity in the rates of brain tumor formation in pre- pubertal boys and girls is particularly instructive with regard to possible mechanisms by which sex differences affect cancer. The peak incidence of pediatric brain tumors occurs in children less than 4 years of age, when circu- lating sex...

While various factors, such as underreporting of metastatic brain tumor cases, hinder a more precise prevalence and incidence, it is estimated that 20–40% of adult patients with cancer develop metastatic brain tumors (Achrol et al., 2019, Nayak et al., 2012, Tsukada et al., 1983). The ...

The new system introduced arterial dissection as a “stand alone” category (due to the high prevalence of this finding in young patients with ischemic stroke) and simplified the methods of classification by incorporating the levels of diagnostic evidence into the grades of the disease. The ...
we previously reported a patient in whom our haematological model diagnosed plasmacytoma from blood parameters obtained two years before the first symptoms11. Nevertheless, due to the low prevalence of brain tumours in the general population, our model is probably not useful for presymptomatic screening...
This single-center study investigated the prevalence of brain metastases immediately before prophylactic cranial irradiation in 40 consecutive limited disease small cell lung cancer complete responders to chemoradiotherapy and revealed that 13/40 (32.5%; 95% confidence interval: 18–47%) patients suffer ...
