gliosarcoma/구역질

BACKGROUND Gliosarcoma is a rare, malignant CNS tumor with a very poor prognosis. Gliosarcoma is a variant of glioblastoma multiforme, which is characterized by the presence of both glial and mesenchymal components. The treatment strategy for gliosarcomas has not yet been determined

We describe a rare case of gliosarcoma with primitive neuroectodermal, osseous, cartilage and adipocyte differentiation. A 57-year-old man experienced a month history of headache, nausea and vomiting. Worse yet, the headache has become more severe for the past 6 days. Magnetic resonance (MR) images

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and pathologic features of gliosarcoma of cerebral hemispheres. METHODS The clinicopathologic features of 10 cases of gliosarcoma involving cerebral hemispheres were reviewed. Immunohistochemical study was carried out using EnVision method. RESULTS The mean age of the

A 68-year-old male was hospitalized because of headache, nausea, and disturbance of consciousness. Neurological examination on admission disclosed somnolence, disorientation, marked neck stiffness, papilledema, and quadriparesis. Computed tomography (CT) scanning demonstrated a round mass with

OBJECTIVE To determine the response rate, time to disease progression, survival, and toxicity of intravenous carboplatin and chronic oral high-dose tamoxifen in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas. METHODS Patients with histological confirmation of recurrent malignant gliomas were eligible for

OBJECTIVE A Phase I study to determine the safety, toxicity, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of carmustine (BCNU) and interferon alpha-2a (IFN-a) when combined with radiation as initial therapy in high-grade glioma. METHODS Patients with newly diagnosed Grade 3 or 4 astrocytoma, oligoastrocytoma,

Six months of maintenance temozolomide (TMZ) following concurrent TMZ chemotherapy and radiation therapy has become the standard of care in the treatment of glioblastoma. In addition, TMZ has also been used to treat other forms of glioma although less evidence of efficacy exists. TMZ administration

OBJECTIVE In vitro fertilization (IVF) is increasingly used for the treatment of infertile couples worldwide. The association between IVF and cancer risk in offspring is conflicting. We present a case of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) in a girl conceived by IVF and present results of

Two cases of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (P X A) of young subjects (Kepes et al., 1979) are reported. Case 1 arose in 15-year-old boy admitted to the hospital with the complaint of severe headaches associated with nausea and vomiting of 1 month's duration. Computed tomographic scans showed a large

Iniparib is a prodrug that converts to highly reactive cytotoxic metabolites intracellularly with activity in preclinical glioma models. We investigated the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of iniparib with monthly (m) and continuous (c) temozolomide (TMZ) dosing schedules in patients with malignant
