OBJECT Brainstem gliomas were regarded as a single entity prior to the advent of MRI; however, several studies investigating MRI have recognized that these lesions are a heterogeneous group, and certain subgroups have a better prognosis for long-term survival. The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of prognostic factors of patients with brainstem gliomas confirmed by hist...

متن کاملCirculatory YKL-40 & NLR: Underestimated Prognostic Indicators in Diffuse Glioma
In addition to histopathological parameters, evaluation of associated hematological factors is essential for devising a sensitive prognostic scale in glioma. Increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a marker of systemic inflammatory response, has recently been associated with worse outcome in various cancers. Given that glioma progression is characterized by inflammation, aggressive angioge...

Many clinical trials have been done over the past three decades, but survival has remained static. More than 90% of children die within 2 years of diagnosis, and conventional fractionated radiation remains the standard treatment. However, median s...
