Treating a brain tumorTreatment depends on the tumor's size, location, and type, as well as the patient's age and general health. The main treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. A combination of treatments — surgery and radiation therapy, for example — is often ...
Type of tumor. Stage and grade of the tumor. Use of technology. Type of surgery performed. Number of radiation cycles. Cost of medicines and other consumables. The total duration of a stay in a hospital.Possibilities of Surviving Brain Surgery The survival rate is usually a 5-year survival ...
Even if the use of tissue/tumor-specific promoters results in a constitutive expression of the transgene in the target tissue, in some circumstances it is preferable to exogenously regulate the duration and level of expression through exogenously controlled inducible promoters such as radiation-...
the researchers calculated tumor growth velocity every two months for the duration of therapy in 63 glioblastoma patients, 40 males and 23 females who received standard chemo-radiation treatment following surgery. While initial tumor growth velocities were similar between females and males, only the fem...
However, the therapeutic benefit of this combined treatment hinges on the specific dose, schedule, and duration of each treatment. Early biomarkers that reflect tumor physiological responses provide key information that could guide these aspects of treatment. Pre-clinical tumor models are invaluable ...
Malignant brain tumor treatment and hyperbaric oxygenation: Combined hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy and radiation therapy of malignant gliomas is reviewed. Malignant glioma tissue is hypoxic, and the efficacy of radiation therapy is increased by raising the oxygen density in glioma tissue. Residual...

A method of treating brain tumors in a patient, comprising the steps of: identifying and locating a brain tumor in vivo; implanting at least a portion of an adjustable x-ray source in the patient proximate to the tumor, where the x-ray source generates an electron beam along a path on ...
and metabolically quiescent tissues; (c) as a physical agent, its biological effect is related to the duration and intensity of its application; (d) it seems to have no cumulative toxicity; and (e) it potentiates the effects of both chemotherapy and ionizing radiation at the cellular level. ...
