The effectiveness of heat therapy in combination with 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea on a murine ependymoblastoma was investigated. Based on survival time and the number of survivors, whole-body hyperthermia (40 degrees) increased the therapeutic effectiveness of
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are usually successfully treated with craniospinal radiation and chemotherapy; however, difficulties with standard treatment can be encountered in very young children, in adult patients at high risk of complication from standard treatment, and in patients
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors are fairly rare in uterus. A case of uterine body primitive neuroectodermal tumor in a 32-year-old Iranian woman is presented. The patient was admitted with abdominal pain and fever and underwent emergency exploratory surgery with total abdominal hysterectomy,
We report a rare case of Ewing's sarcoma (ES)/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) arising from the adrenal gland. A 17-year-old Japanese woman presented with left upper abdominal pain and high fever. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 15 × 10 cm tumor replacing the
Neuraxis radiation therapy (RT) for primary intracranial tumors is associated with major late effects if administered to very young children. To control residual tumor and to delay RT, we treated eight young children (median age 6.5 months) with primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors using
Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) has been advocated as a form of salvage therapy for children with high-risk or relapsed brain tumors but only limited data are available currently. We report the outcomes of pediatric brain tumors treated with AHSCT in a quaternary referral
A young male labourer developed pain at the site of blunt trauma over back of chest followed by fever, cough with expectoration, breathlessness and hemorrhagic pleural effusion in the side of injury. What could have been passed as a sequel of trauma turned out to be the consequences of an underlying
OBJECTIVE
Radiographic tumor response and survival were evaluated in the pediatric and young adult population with germ cell tumor, primary CNS lymphoma, or primitive neuroectodermal tumor receiving intra-arterial carboplatin- or methotrexate-based chemotherapy with osmotic blood-brain barrier
Primary brain tumors constitute the most frequent solid tumor of childhood. High expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein has been associated with tumor progression and enhanced tumorigenicity in adult and children gliomas. Nimotuzumab is a humanized antibody that targets
OBJECTIVE
Cyclophosphamide is commonly used in the treatment of children with malignant brain tumors. The purpose of this study was to develop a multicycle, high-dose intensity cyclophosphamide regimen with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and to assess its activity against
Teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is a recently introduced infantile brain neoplasm of uncertain origin clinically characterized by a most aggressive course. We describe the case of a 2-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, the former presenting with central fever and hemiparesis, while vomiting and headache
In this article, we combine a review of the wide range of tissue dielectric studies and applications (e.g., safety, imaging, therapy) being pursued by the bioelectromagnetics community with a description of one specific application of dielectric measurements (in vivo tumor classification). The tumor
Eighty three patients suffering from brain tumors have been treated by anticancer pellets containing 5-FU, urokinase, mitomycin and BUdR in dimethylsiloxan (Silastic) for three years. Constant and prolonged release of the chemicals from the anticancer pellet had already been proved in vitro. The
Dianhydrogalactitol (DAG) or its active cell-killing moiety has a relatively long biological half-life in 9L cells cultured in vitro. The shape of the DAG dose-response curves was similar to that of those observed for most oncolytic agents. The prominent shoulder on the 24-h dose-response curve
Pre-clinical data and adult experience suggests that topoisomerase targeted anti-cancer agents may be highly schedule dependent, and efficacy may improve with prolonged exposure. To investigate this hypothesis, 28 children with recurrent brain and solid tumors were enrolled in a phase II study of
