Pseudo-tumoral response of glioblastoma to anti-angiogenic treatment prematurely revealed by using Arterial spin-labeling (ASL) perfusion MRI and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)
Introduction: Angiogenesis plays a key-role in the growth and spread of solid tumors (1). This is especially true for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), which is the most common and aggressive subtype of malignant glioma. New therapies involving anti-angiogenic agents may therefore now be part of the therapeutic protocol and they have been shown to dramatically improve response and survival in pati...
متن کاملCombined therapy of temozolomide and ZD6474 (vandetanib) effectively reduces glioblastoma tumor volume through anti-angiogenic and anti-proliferative mechanisms.
Currently, clinically available options for treating glioblastoma (GBM) are quite limited, and there is a clear need to develop novel treatment strategies that can more effectively manage tumors. Here, we present a combination treatment of temozolomide (TMZ), a blood-brain barrier penetrating DNA alkylating agent, and ZD6474 (vandetanib), a VEGFR2 and EGFR dual-targeting anti-angiogenic agent, ...
متن کاملIonizing radiation inhibits chemotherapy-induced apoptosis in cultured glioma cells: implications for combined modality therapy.
Surgical resection followed by radiation therapy is the mainstay of treatment for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive of the malignant gliomas. The poor clinical response of GBM and the intrinsic radiation resistance of this tumor type have prompted clinical investigations seeking to define the role of chemotherapy in the treatment of GBM. In this study, we examined the cytotoxic...

متن کاملThe impact of bevacizumab treatment on survival and quality of life in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains one of the most devastating tumors, and patients have a median survival of 15 months despite aggressive local and systemic therapy, including maximal surgical resection, radiation therapy, and concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide. The purpose of antineoplastic treatment is therefore to prolong life, with a maintenance or improvement of quality of life. GBM...
