Mashup Score: 2Hematological adverse events in the management of glioblastoma - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Background Hematological adverse events (HAEs) are common during treatment for glioblastoma (GBM), usually associated with temozolomide (TMZ). Their clinical value is uncertain, as few investigations have focused on outcomes for HAEs during GBM treatment. Methods We combined data from two randomized clinical trials, RTOG 0525 and RTOG 0825, to analyze HAEs during treatment for GBM. We…

Mashup Score: 4Discordances in ER, PR, and HER2 between primary breast cancer and brain metastasis - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
When distant metastases are discovered, it is important to determine receptor profiles of these lesions through histologic examination. However, brain metastasis sites are difficult to reach to be routinely biopsied. The purpose of this study was to determine expression profiles of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast…

Mashup Score: 1Reforming support systems of newly diagnosed brain cancer patients: a systematic review - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Purpose Despite the increasing incidence of currently incurable brain cancer, limited resources are placed in patients’ support systems, with reactive utilisation late in the disease course, when physical and psychological symptoms have peaked. Based on patient-derived data and emphasis on service improvement, this review investigated the structure and efficacy of the support methods of newly…

Mashup Score: 0Genetic modulation of longitudinal change in neurocognitive function among adult glioma patients - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Purpose Impaired neurocognitive function (NCF) is extremely common in patients with higher grade primary brain tumor. We previously reported evidence of genetic variants associated with NCF in glioma patients prior to treatment. However, little is known about the effect of genetic variants on NCF decline after adjuvant therapy. Methods Patients (N = 102) completed longitudinal NCF assessments…

Introduction Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) constitutes one of the deadliest tumors to afflict humans, although it is still considered an orphan disease. Despite testing multiple new and innovative therapies in ongoing clinical trials, the median survival for this type of malignancy is less than two years after initial diagnosis, regardless of therapy. One class of promising new therapies are…

Mashup Score: 1Cognitive functioning and functional brain networks in postoperative WHO grade I meningioma patients - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction Meningioma patients often have subtle cognitive deficits that might be attributed to the tumor itself, to surgical treatment, or to the occurrence of seizures and their treatment. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) analysis of resting-state functional networks (RSNs) could help to understand the neurophysiological basis of cognitive impairment in these patients. We explored the correlation…

Mashup Score: 0Increased proliferation is associated with CNS invasion in meningiomas - Journal of Neuro-Oncology - 2 year(s) ago
Introduction Meningiomas are the most common benign intracranial neoplasms. CNS invasion in meningiomas has been integrated into the 2016 WHO classification of CNS tumors as a stand-alone criterion for atypia. Since then, its prognostic impact has been debated based on contradictory results from retrospective analyses. The aim of the study was to elucidate whether histopathological evidence of…
