Genetic analysis of cytomegalovirus in malignant gliomas.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has been found in malignant gliomas at variable frequencies with efforts to date focused on characterizing the role(s) of single gene products in disease. Here, we reexamined the HCMV prevalence in malignant gliomas using different methods and began to dissect the genetics of HCMV in tumors. HCMV DNA was found in 16/17 (94%) tumor specimens. Viral DNA copy numbers w...
متن کاملSURVIVAL IN PATIENTS WITH MALIGNANT GLIOMAS OF THE BRAIN
The present retrospective study was designed to analyze factors with prognostic values a) within, and b) significantly associated with, short-term (12months or less) and long-term (more than 24 months) survival times, i n 72 consecutive patients treated for malignant gliomas. Among 41 (57%) short-term surviving patients, the absence of both aphasia and motor deficit (as initial presenting ...
متن کاملPrognostic genetic markers in malignant gliomas
Glioblastomas are the most frequent and malignant brain tumors in adults. Surgical cure is virtually impossible and despite of radiation and chemotherapy the clinical course is very poor. Epigenetic silencing of MGMT has been associated with a better response to temozolomide-chemotherapy. We previously showed that temozolomide increases the median survival time of patients with tumors harbourin...
متن کاملproteomic cluster analysis of malignant gliomas in humans
background: gliomas are the most frequently observed primary brain tumors. these tumors comprise a variety of different histological tumor types and malignancy grades. oligodendrogliomas typically contain a rich network of branching capillaries. approximately 50%-80% of oligodendrogliomas demonstrate a combined loss of chromosomes 1p and 19q. oligodendrogliomas differ from neurocytomas in that ...
متن کاملFrequency of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in benign and malignant tumors
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread pathogen that is found in milk, saliva, urine, cervical secretions, and semen fluid. It is supposed that CMV is a risk factor for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of CMV among benign and malignant breast tumors. Paraffin embedded breast carcinoma (n=24) and fibroadenoma (n=24) samples were collected from Toos and Firoozgar...
