Exploration of the recurrence in radiation brain necrosis after bevacizumab discontinuation
OBJECTIVE The aim of the paper was to investigate the recurrence and its causes of radiation brain necrosis following bevacizumab discontinuation. METHODS This study included 14 patients with radiation brain necrosis (confirmed through imaging) after stereotactic radiotherapy for a primary or metastatic brain tumor and who received bevacizumab treatment from June 2011 through December 2014. T...
متن کاملComparison of brain SPECT with 99mTc-MIBI and CT-scan in discriminating of radiation necrosis and brain tumor recurrence [Persian]
Introduction: 99mTc-MIBI has been proposed for use as an imaging agent for various tumors, including breast cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, melanomas and brain neoplastic lesions. Brain tumors are very common and radiotherapy being major part of treatment following surgery. After radiotherapy, deteriorating clinical status can be due to either radiation necrosis or recurrent tumor. Comput...
متن کاملaccuracy of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in distinction between radiation necrosis and recurrence of brain tumors.
background: distinction between radiation necrosis and recurrence of intraparenchymal tumors is necessary to select the appropriate treatment, but it is often difficult based on imaging features alone. we developed an algorithm for analyzing magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) findings and studied its accuracy in differentiation between radiation necrosis and tumor recurrence. m e t hod s : ...

متن کاملReversibility of capillary density after discontinuation of bevacizumab treatment.
BACKGROUND Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition is known to decrease capillary density. Decreased capillary density may be the basis for VEGF inhibitor-related side-effects. We investigated whether the effects of bevacizumab on capillary density are reversible. PATIENTS AND METHODS Capillary density, assessed by sidestream dark field imaging of the mucosal surface of the lip, ...
