Aspiration biopsy cytomorphology of primary pulmonary germ cell tumor metastatic to the brain.

29 Sep 2009 Extragonadal germ cell tumors are uncommon and such tumors originating from the lung parenchyma are extremely rare. This is a case of 68-year-old female who was admitted with complaints of right-sided weakness, inability to maintain her balance, ... Read more...

Dosimetric comparison of intensity-modulated radiosurgery and helical tomotherapy for the treatment of multiple intracranial metastases.

29 Sep 2009 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dosimetry of single fraction, single-isocenter intensity-modulated radiosurgery (IMRS) plans for multiple intracranial metastases and to compare Helical Tomotherapy (HT). Ten treatment plans with 3-6 ... Read more...

The results of resection after stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECT: Radiosurgery for brain metastasis fails in some patients, who require further surgical care. In this paper the authors' goal was to evaluate prognostic factors that correlate with the survival of patients who require a resection of a brain ... 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.
