Glioblastoma is most common and most aggressive cancer of brain. for treatment surgery is first selection and radiation therapy then chemotherapy. The median survival of Patients with GBM is less than a year after diagnosis. Glioblastoma is basically resistant to common cancer treatments. today to improve the response of patients to treatment, a number of strategies such as the use of radiation...

Glioblastoma is one of the most common primary brain tumors (80% of patients) that has a poor prognosis due to malignancy. Glioblastoma has an annual incidence of 5.26 per 100 000 population or 17 000 new diagnoses per year and so as the population aging, the number of patients is expected to increase. There is a growing body of literature investigating the tumor microenvironmenta...

objective: to assess relative biological effectiveness (rbe) of 131i radiation relative to 60co gamma rays in glioblastoma spheroid cells. materials and methods: in this experimental study, glioblastoma spheroid cells were exposed to 131i radiation and 60co gamma rays. radiation induced dna damage was evaluated by alkaline comet assay. samples of spheroid cells were treated by radiation from 13...

giant cell glioblastoma is an extremely rare variant of glioblastoma (who grade iv) which is characterized by a predominance of bizarre, multinucleated giant cells. these tumors comprise of 0.8% of brain tumors and up to 5% of glioblastomas. in pediatric age group, these tumors are still uncommon with only around 53 published cases since 1952. here, we report a case of a 12-year old female pati...

background: combination therapy has generated remarkable motivation in the clinical setting since it boosts the therapeutic potential of anticancer drugs. glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor which affects patients in all ages, and being principally resistant to treatment. methods: in this study, temozolomide as a standard chemotherapeutic drug f...

Human glioblastoma is one of the most malignant types of brain tumor in the world. In the present study, the functional mechanisms of microRNA-141 (miR-141) were assessed, and the potential role of miR-141 as a prognostic biomarker in glioblastoma was examined. The gene expression of miR-141 in glioblastoma cell lines and glioblastoma tumors was assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative po...
