Given the difficulty of surgical resection of brain neoplasms located adjacent to vital structures of the brain as well as the challenges posed by the blood-brain-barrier for the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are often turned to for patients with brain metastases as well as primary brain neoplasms. Though radiation ...

Introduction: Meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. It can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. As a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. Trauma and vi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this research was to perform a preliminary assessment of protein patterns in primary brain tumors using a direct-tissue mass spectrometric technique to profile and map biomolecules. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined 20 prospectively collected, snap-frozen normal brain and brain tumor specimens using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS...

background: the presence of noncutaneous neoplasms does not seem to increase the risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma; however, it seems to be associated with the development of other hematological, brain, breast, uterine, and prostatic neoplasms. an ecological transversal study was conducted to study the geographic association between cutaneous malignant melanoma and 24 localizations of cancer...

PURPOSE Survival after brain or spinal cord neoplasms is poor and varies by diagnostic group, age, grade, treatment and pretreatment factors, and location and size of tumor. We carried out a study to investigate survival and factors affecting survival of all diagnostic types of second primary brain or spinal cord neoplasms. PATIENTS AND METHODS The British Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (BCC...

BACKGROUND: The main reason for the development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in neuro-oncology is high prevalence brain tumors reaching up to 200 cases per 100,000 population. incidence a primary focus 5%10%; however, 60%70% those who die from malignant neoplasms have metastases brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) most common method non-invasive diagnosis ...
