Metabolic Profiles of Brain Metastases
Metastasis to the brain is a feared complication of systemic cancer, associated with significant morbidity and poor prognosis. A better understanding of the tumor metabolism might help us meet the challenges in controlling brain metastases. The study aims to characterize the metabolic profile of brain metastases of different origin using high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) magnetic re...
متن کاملBrain metastases.
Brain metastases are a common complication of cancer and alter patient management more than metastases at any other site of distant progression. Supportive therapies include steroids and antiseizure medications. Definitive treatments include radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. The optimal choice of treatment and overall prognosis largely depend on patient characteristics and the exten...
متن کاملThe Metabolic Milieu of Metastases
To colonize the liver, colon cancer metastases must overcome hypoxia and other metabolic stress. Loo et al. now show that metastatic cells achieve this by decreasing miR-483 and miR-551a expression, which derepresses creatine kinase expression and allows energy to be captured from extracellular ATP through generation and import of phosphocreatine.
متن کاملBrain metastases.
Brain metastases are an increasingly common complication in patients with systemic cancer. The optimal treatment for each patient depends on careful evaluation of several factors: the location, size, and number of brain metastases; the patient's age, general condition, and neurologic status; and the extent of systemic cancer to name a few. For patients with a single brain metastasis and limited...
متن کاملPathobiology of brain metastases.
Brain metastasis is a major cause of systemic cancer morbidity and mortality. Many factors participate in the development and maintenance of brain metastases. The survival of the metastasis depends upon crucial interactions between tumour cells and the brain microenvironment during its development at the new site. This review focuses on the pathobiological mechanisms involved in the establishme...
