Childhood atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor of the central nervous system: a meta-analysis of observational studies.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: Therapy for central nervous system (CNS) atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is controversial. We describe 4 children treated with sarcoma-like therapy and review the literature to evaluate outcome in relation to treatment modalities. ... Read more...

[Childhood and adult medulloblastoma: what difference?]

24 Aug 2009 Medulloblastoma is the most frequent childhood brain tumor (30%) but account only for less than 1% of adult brain tumor. The overall survival increased significantly during the last two decades with 80% of long survivors at five years whatever the ... Read more...

IgE, allergy, and risk of glioma: update from the San Francisco Bay Area Adult Glioma Study in the temozolomide era.

30 Jul 2009 The consistently observed inverse relationship of allergic conditions with glioma risk and our previous demonstration that immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels also were lower in glioma patients than controls suggest that atopic allergy may be related to 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.
