Intracranial Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma is a very rare and uncommon entity that affects young adults. We came across one such patient who presented with severe headache and intermittent nausea and vomiting. The clinical, radiological preoperative diagnosis was a meningioma, on histological
OBJECTIVE
We present a patient with a dural-based intracranial extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, which was initially thought to be an atypical meningioma. This rare tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of young adults with an aggressive-appearing dural-based
We present the case of a 13-year-old girl with a huge intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. She had suffered from severe headache, diplopia, intermittent nausea and vomiting for 1 month. Neurologic examination revealed bilateral blurred optic disc margins and abducens paresis. Magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma is a very rare malignant cartilaginous forming tumour in central nervous system (CNS), which is rarely encountered in clinical practice and generally occurs in young adults. This article describes a case of primary intracranial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma in a
Ifosfamide given to 42 patients iv at 2-2.5 g/m2/day X 4 resulted in partial responses in ten of 28 (36%) evaluable patients with adult soft tissue sarcomas, including two of two with chondrosarcoma; none of nine with pediatric sarcomas (Ewing's sarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma)
A total of 14 patients, 7 male and 7 female, received in all 21 evaluable courses of cyclophosphamide administered by 5-day continuous infusion. Cyclophosphamide doses were escalated from 300 to 400 mg/m2 per day for 5 days and repeated every 21-28 days. The patient population had a median age of 55
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate acute radiation-induced toxicity of carbon ion therapy.
METHODS
From December 1997 to November 2000, 37 patients with chordomas and low-grade chondrosarcomas of the skull base have been treated with carbon ions at the heavy ion synchrotron (SIS) at
Proton beam radiotherapy, an innovative treatment modality, allows delivery of high radiation doses to the target while sparing surrounding healthy structures. The Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica (CNAO), equipped with a synchrotron and capable of using both protons and ions, initiated its
OBJECTIVE
The Italian National Centre for Oncological Hadrontherapy (Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica, CNAO), equipped with a proton and ion synchrotron, started clinical activity in September 2011. The clinical and technical characteristics of the first ten proton beam radiotherapy
Antineoplaston A10 injections were administered to 18 patients diagnosed with 19 types of neoplastic disease. The patients' diagnoses included: adenocarcinoma of the rectum and colon, Stage IV (8 cases); adenocarcinoma of the pancreas (4 cases); adenocarcinoma of the breast, Stage IV (3 cases) and
OBJECTIVE
Despite increased utilization of fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), the incidence and nature of immediate side effects (ISE) associated with these treatment techniques are not well defined. We report immediate side effects from a series of
In 409 sufferers from various malignant tumours, we used the cytostatic Ifosfamide (ASTAZ4942) in fractionated doses. The total i.v. dose averaging 300 mg/kg bodyweight, was either spread over 5 consecutive days (5 X 60 mg/kg i.v.) or over 10 consecutive days (10 X 30 mg/kg). At the same time, most
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanosomal docetaxel lipid suspension (NDLS, DoceAqualip) based chemotherapy in patients with sarcoma.Methods
In this retrospective, multicenter (6 centers), observational study, we analyzed the medical charts of
OBJECTIVE
To summarize and analyze the experience in CNS involvement (CNSI) in children with sarcomas treated in the above-mentioned institutions.
METHODS
From 1990 to 2001, all medical charts were retrospectively reviewed: 19 sarcoma patients (12 boys and 7 girls) were diagnosed with CNSI (4
Thirty-two patients with advanced, inoperable nonhematologic soft-tissue and osseous sarcomas were treated with Methyl CCNU administered via controlled intravenous infusion in doses of 130-170 mg/m2 every 6 weeks in a Phase II trial. All 28 evaluable patients were no longer responsive to adriamycin.
