6-year-old girl with hydrocephalus.

29 Sep 2009 With rare exceptions, pediatric tectal gliomas have been generally reported as low-grade tumors with relatively good prognosis. The patients are usually treated conservatively to manage the signs and symptoms of obstructive hydrocephalus. We report ... Read more...

Dendritic cell therapy of high-grade gliomas.

29 Sep 2009 The prognosis of patients with malignant glioma is poor in spite of multimodal treatment approaches consisting of neurosurgery, radiochemotherapy and maintenance chemotherapy. Among innovative treatment strategies like targeted therapy, ... Read more...

Immunotherapy of diffuse gliomas: biological background, current status and future developments.

29 Sep 2009 Despite aggressive multimodal treatment approaches, the prognosis for patients with diffuse gliomas remains disappointing. Glioma cells often extensively infiltrate in the surrounding brain parenchyma, a phenomenon that helps them to escape surgical ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Glioma'

Definition: Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle. (From Escourolle et al., Manual of Basic Neuropathology, 2nd ed, p21)
