RapidArc: Initial experience in high grade glioma
Background: Identify the optimal technique of radiotherapy for patients with high grade glioma. Our initial year of experience with RapidArc radiation therapy. Materials and Methods: Planning CT scans of 50 patients with grade IV glioma were reviewed and three plan sets by 3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT), Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Rapid Arc (RA) were generated and the plans ...
متن کاملTemozolomide chemotherapy versus radiotherapy in high-risk low-grade glioma
BACKGROUND Outcome of low-grade glioma (WHO grade II) is highly variable, reflecting molecular heterogeneity of the disease. We compared two different, single-modality treatment strategies of standard radiotherapy versus primary temozolomide chemotherapy in patients with low-grade glioma, and assessed progression-free survival outcomes and identified predictive molecular factors. METHODS For ...
متن کاملTemozolomide for high grade glioma.
BACKGROUND High grade glioma (HGG) is an aggressive form of brain cancer. Treatment of HGG usually entails biopsy, or resection if safe, followed by radiotherapy. Temozolomide is a novel oral chemotherapy drug that penetrates into the brain and purportedly has a low incidence of adverse events. OBJECTIVES To assess whether temozolomide has any advantage for treating HGG in either primary or r...
متن کاملManagement of Low-Grade Glioma
The optimal management of patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) is controversial. The controversy largely stems from the lack of well-designed clinical trials with adequate follow-up to account for the relatively long progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with LGG. Nonetheless, the literature increasingly suggests that expectant management is no longer optimal. Rather, there...
متن کاملPrognostic Factors for Survival Outcome of High-Grade Multicentric Glioma.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to perform a survival analysis of patients with high-grade multicentric gliomas and to assess the influence of various prognostic factors on overall survival (OS). METHODS A literature search on PubMed and Web of Science was performed for literature in English published from 1880 to October 2017. Detailed information including demographics, clinical cha...
