Radiothermotherapy for glioblastoma multiforme: A preliminary study
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly radioresistant cancer with low survival rate. Current therapy approaches have failed to treat GBM. The aim of this study was to assess how GBM tumors respond to combination of hyperthermia and radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: In this study, 38 GBM patients were included. 19 patients were treated ...
متن کاملExploratory Analysis of the Copy Number Alterations in Glioblastoma Multiforme
BACKGROUND The Cancer Genome Atlas project (TCGA) has initiated the analysis of multiple samples of a variety of tumor types, starting with glioblastoma multiforme. The analytical methods encompass genomic and transcriptomic information, as well as demographic and clinical data about the sample donors. The data create the opportunity for a systematic screening of the components of the molecular...
متن کاملGenome-wide copy number analysis in pediatric glioblastoma multiforme.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a very aggressive and lethal brain tumor with poor prognosis. Despite new treatment strategies, patients' median survival is still less than 1 year in most cases. Few studies have focused exclusively on this disease in children and most of our understanding of the disease process and its clinical outcome has come from studies on malignant gliomas in childhood, combining ch...
متن کاملModeling genetic inheritance of copy number variations
Copy number variations (CNVs) are being used as genetic markers or functional candidates in gene-mapping studies. However, unlike single nucleotide polymorphism or microsatellite genotyping techniques, most CNV detection methods are limited to detecting total copy numbers, rather than copy number in each of the two homologous chromosomes. To address this issue, we developed a statistical framew...
متن کاملLearning the Genetic Causes for Schizophrenia through Copy - Number Variations
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that causes lifelong disability. The most common symptoms are auditory hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. At least 1% of Americans have this illness. [1] Factors that cause schizophrenia are both genetic and non-genetic. Research has shown that gene plays a significant role in schizophrenia through studies on twins. However, the genetic aberrations assoc...
