Introduction: The expansion of knowledge about head and neck cancer can provide greater care the ability to identify risk factors symptoms disease, as well incorporation healthy habits. younger these concepts are sedimented, better results will be, making society healthier more aware. Objective: To assess among adolescents from private schools, aged between 13 22 years. Methods: 200 questionnai...

BACKGROUND Survivors of childhood leukemia and lymphoma experience high risks of second malignant neoplasms. We quantified such risk using a large dataset from 13 population-based cancer registries. METHODS The registries provided individual data on cases of leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma occurring in children aged 0-14 years and on subsequent second malignant neoplasms ...

The delivery of therapeutic genes to primary brain neoplasms opens new opportunities for treating these frequently fatal tumors. Efficient gene delivery to tissues remains an important obstacle to therapy, and this problem has unique characteristics in brain tumors due to the blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers. The presence of endothelial mitogens and vessel proliferation within solid tumors ...

Aim The aim of the study was to determine the most commonly diagnosed neoplasms in the MRI scanned patient population and indicate correlations based on the descriptive variables. Methods The SPSS software was used to determine the incidence of neoplasms within the specific diagnoses based on the descriptive variables of the studied population. Over a five year period, 791 patients and 839 MR...

Z. Patay J.C. Mills U. Löbel A. Lambert A. Sablauer D.W. Ellison SUMMARY: Increasing evidence suggests that patients with L2-HGA have a predisposition to cerebral neoplasms. This may be related to the pathologic accumulation of L2-HG because high amounts of 2-HG have been found in brain neoplasms that have IDH1 mutations. Our experience, on the basis of 11 previously unreported cases of L2-HGA,...

Allelic differences at the Ah locus are showen to exist in the mouse brain. This finding probably explains inbred mouse strain differences in polycyclic hydrocarbon tumorigenesis of the brain described more than 35 years ago and may be important in understanding the etiology of genetic differences in certain human intracranial neoplasms.

Background: Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with different prevalence in different sex and age groups and various parts of CNS. Objectives: Determining the relative frequency of different types of CNS tumors in different ages, sex and CNS anatomical locations. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was performed using pathological repor...

Background: Gangliocytomas are rare neuronal tumors with an incidence of less than 1% all CNS neoplasms. They mostly seen in the pediatric age group, localizing within cerebral cortex, most often temporal lobe. Methods: We report a case intracranial gangliocytoma arising lateral ventricle adult patient. Our 66-year-old female patient started experiencing progressive generalized weakness, headac...

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on cellular immunity during the perioperative period in children with brain neoplasms. METHODS Forty children with brain neoplasms scheduled for selective operation were recruited and divided randomly into two groups. The Dex group was given a loading dose of 1 μg*kg(-1) Dex 15 minutes before anesthesia induction followed by a continuous...

Managing a CNS neoplasm during pregnancy presents complex challenges, and population-based studies are lacking. We designed a retrospective cohort study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) to investigate pregnancy outcomes in women with CNS neoplasms. We constructed a logistic regression model for maternal mortality, preterm labor, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and Caesarean d...
