OBJECTIVE
A Phase II study of CPT-11 in adults with recurrent, temozolomide (TMZ)-refractory, 1p19q co-deleted, anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) with a primary objective of determining 6-month progression free survival (PFS).
BACKGROUND
There is no standard therapy for alkylator-resistant
OBJECTIVE
A prospective Phase I study designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose and secondarily evaluate response rate to CPT-11 in patients with recurrent oligodendrogliomas (oligos) on anticonvulsant drugs (AEDs).
BACKGROUND
Oligos, which constitute 1-2% for all adult brain tumors, are
Oligodendrogliomas are rare slow-growing asymptomatic glial tumours that usually present in patients in their fourth to sixth decades of life. Neurological symptoms that may present include nausea, headache, vomiting, diplopia, confusion, focal weakness, numbness and seizures. The treatment of
This patient presented with a rare case of metachronous, multicentric gliomas first manifesting as headache and nausea in 1983 when he was an 8-year-old boy. Computed tomography revealed a cerebellar tumor and the tumor was subtotally resected. The histological diagnosis was pilocytic astrocytoma,
BACKGROUND
Patients with thymoma are found to have another systemic illness and a broadly increased risk for secondary malignancies. We present the case of a 53-year-old female patient who harbored two synchronous primary malignant neoplasms-an anaplastic oligodendroglioma of the right frontal lobe
Multiple metastatic brain tumors and multifocal primary brain tumors of a single histological type are well described in the literature. The concurrent presence of multiple primary brain tumors with different histological characteristics, however, is very rare. The authors describe the first known
We report a case of an oligodendroglioma associated with a cavernous angioma. The patient, a 20-year-old man with an 8-year history of epileptic seizures, presented an acute onset of headache, nausea, and vomiting. Computerized tomographic scan and angiogram revealed multiple vascular malformations
To determine the efficacy and toxicity of a novel chemotherapeutic approach with topotecan, a camptothecin analog, for progressive or recurring anaplastic oligodendroglioma or mixed oligoastrocytoma.Patients from seven centers with recurrent or progressive disease were treated with topotecan, 1.5
Although many patients with oligodendrogliomas (ODs) and oligoastrocytomas (OAs) benefit from a combination of surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy, most patients eventually experience recurrence of their disease. Recent evidence has shown that ODs are more chemosensitive than other gliomas, including
An 18-year-old girl presented with a history of visual disturbance without headache, nausea, or vomiting in May 2010. In July 2010, the patient visited our hospital because of visual disturbance. Head magnetic resonance images revealed hydrocephalus caused by a ring-enhancing mass lesion located in
OBJECTIVE
Little is known about the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients treated for anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. The impact of combined procarbazine, CCNU (lomustine), and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy after radiotherapy (RT) compared with RT alone on HRQOL in the randomized
Oligodendroglioma of the spinal cord is a rare tumor that most often presents with spinal cord symptoms. The authors present a case of spinal cord oligodendroglioma that was associated with cerebral rather than spinal cord symptoms. A 30-year-old woman developed nausea, vomiting, and severe
The authors report the case of a 2-year-old boy with a primary, diffuse leptomeningeal oligodendroglioma in which the deletion of chromosome arm lp was identified by performing a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. This previously healthy child initially presented with malaise,
OBJECTIVE
Indolent low-grade temporal lobe tumors may present with ictal panic that may be difficult to differentiate from psychogenic panic attacks. The current study aims to demonstrate the differences between the two disorders and help physicians generate a diagnostic paradigm.
METHODS
This was a
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of daily temozolomide concurrent with postoperative radiotherapy in malignant glioma.
METHODS
From 11/1999 to 03/2003, n = 81 patients aged 15-72 years (median 52 years, Karnofsky score 80-100% in 83%) suffering from primary glioblastoma (n
