Survey of long-term follow-up programs in the United States for survivors of childhood brain tumors.

13 Dec 2009 INTRODUCTION: Despite recognition that childhood brain tumor survivors often suffer multiple late effects following therapy, little is known regarding the long-term follow-up (LTFU) programs for these patients. METHODS: A 16-question survey was ... Read more...

Correlation of enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant use with outcome of patients with glioblastoma.

11 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Clinical trials involving patients with glioblastoma (GBM) distinguish cohorts who are treated with enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants (EIAC). Such anticonvulsants induce hepatic P450 microsomal enzymes, which accelerate the metabolism of ... Read more...

Microscopic thrombi in glioblastoma multiforme do not predict the development of deep venous thrombosis.

29 Sep 2009 Patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are known to be at risk for hypercoagulable events. Tumoral intravascular thrombi likely contribute to the development of hypoxia and necrosis. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there is a ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Brain Neoplasms'

Definition: Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
