CT-guided laser probe for ablation of brain tumors
In this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to CT scan for tumor ablation. For ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. Then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. Although we ...
متن کاملHigh-dose chemotherapy in adult patients with germ cell tumors.
BACKGROUND Approximately 80% of patients with advanced germ cell tumors (GCTs) can be cured with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Patients with poor-prognosis disease have a cure rate of only 50%, whereas patients with first relapse have only a 25% chance of prolonged survival and potential cure following standard therapy. High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) is being investigated in patients with GCTs to...
متن کاملSalvage chemotherapy for refractory germ cell tumors.
At the University of Southern California (USC), it is our practice to begin by estimating the likelihood of a durable remission based on individual characteristics. Factors including pure seminoma, prior complete response (CR) to cisplatin therapy, low-volume metastases, and a testicular primary predict for cure with standard-dose salvage[1-4] and may help clinicians identify patients for whom ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Chemotherapy on Metastatic Testicular Germ Cell Tumors
Modern chemotherapy combined with surgery can achieve complete cure in over 90% of all patients with malignant testicular germ cell tumors. Even tumors that have already metastasized at the time of orchidectomy are curable by platinum-based multidrug treatment. Chemotherapy related changes can be seen in the residual tumor tissue in metastatic sites. In patients fully responding to chemotherapy...
متن کاملgenetics of testicular germ cell tumors
testicular germ cell tumor (tgct) is the most solid tumor in 20-40 years old man. tgct account for 95% of testicular tumors and represent a unique type of human cancer from several different perspectives. tgct arise by transformation of germ cells. the transformed germ cells exhibit ploripotentially to differentiate into embryonic. extra-embryonic, and somatic tissue types, and are highly sensi...
