In the absence of known risk factors and of preventive measures, most glioma patients present with relatively large intracranial masses. Survival intervention in the form of craniotomy with gross total resection (GTR) offers several benefits that include accurate histological and molecular diagnosis, relief of mass effect and symptoms, survival advantage, improved tolerance to radiation therapy...

BACKGROUND: Cytotoxic therapy for malignant gliomas is limited by poor delivery and drug resistance, and local therapy is ineffective in managing migratory cells. However, recent developments in malignant glioma therapy involve trials of cytostatic rather than conventional cytotoxic agents. METHODS: The biology of the brain extracellular matrix, tumor invasion, and angiogenesis are reviewed, an...

متن کاملMolecular pathology of malignant gliomas.
Malignant gliomas, the most common type of primary brain tumor, are a spectrum of tumors of varying differentiation and malignancy grades. These tumors may arise from neural stem cells and appear to contain tumor stem cells. Early genetic events differ between astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors, but all tumors have an initially invasive phenotype, which complicates therapy. Progression-asso...
