Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are rare brain neoplasms, with survival spanning up to a few decades. Thus, accurate evaluations on how biomarkers impact survival among patients with LGG require long-term studies on samples prospectively collected over a long period.
Methods
The 210 adult LGGs collected in our databank were screened for IDH1 and IDH2 mutations (IDHmut), MGMT gene promoter methylation (MGMTmet), 1p/19q los
Standard pre- and postcontrast (T1 + C) anatomical MR imaging is proving to be insufficient for accurately monitoring bevacizumab treatment response in recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). We present a novel imaging biomarker that detects abnormal tumor vasculature exhibiting both arterial and venous perfusion characteristics. We hypothesized that a decrease in the extent of this abnormal vasculature after bevacizumab treatment would predict treatment efficacy and overall survival.
Malignant gliomas are the most common and deadly primary brain tumors in adults. Increasing evidence has indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs) have an influence on the regulation of apoptotic cell signaling. Downregulation of miRNA 218 (miR-218) has been indicated in human glioma specimens. Here, we investigate the function of miR-218 in apoptosis and tumor growth of glioma cells.
Methods
The expression of miR-218 was detected by real-time quantitativ
Apathy is associated with pervasive and disadvantageous effects on daily functioning. It has been observed transiently in some children after surgery for posterior fossa tumors.
