The brain microenvironment: friend or foe for metastatic tumor cells?
Brain metastases continue to be challenging targets for therapy and prevention. One reason is that many chemotherapeutics that work well on systemic metastases have much less, if any, activity in the brain, which makes it a “sanctuary site” for solid tumors. The reason for this phenomenon is much debated. Historically, it was widely assumed that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was the most import...
متن کاملMetastatic Brain Neuroendocrine Tumor Originating from the Liver
A 67-year-old male presented with left temporal hemianopsia and left hemiparesis. A contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance image revealed a 4.5×3.5×5.0 cm rim-enhancing mass with central necrosis and associated edema located in the left occipital lobe. Of positron emission tomography and abdominal computed tomography, a 9-cm mass with poor enhancement was found in the right hepatic lobe. Cranioto...
متن کاملDevelopment of a metastatic brain tumor model in mice.
This study reports an easily accomplished and reliable model of metastatic tumor in the brains of mice. Five experimental groups of female C3H/Bi mice received left intracardiac injections of a syngeneic KHT sarcoma cell suspension (1 X 10(5) cells) and were followed until death. Two groups of mice also received 3,000 rads of radiation to a limited cardiac port 24 hr after tumor injections. All...
متن کاملO 25: Immunotherapy for Brain Tumor
In 1890, Coley observed that cancer patients who developed infections had smaller tumors. From this, he developed Coley’s toxin and treated tumors with injections of infectious materials. In 1960s, Mahaley used monoclonal antibodies to treat central nervous system(CNS) tumors, that research and clinical investigations in brain tumor immunotherapy became a serious undertaking. ...
متن کاملNocardia Brain Abscess Mimicking a Metastatic Brain Tumor: A Severe CNS Infection Requiring Aggressive Management
Nocardiosis is an uncommon Gram-positive bacterial infection caused by aerobic actinomycetes in the genus Nocardia. Nocardia spp. have the ability to cause localized or systemic suppurative disease in humans and animals. Nocardiosis is typically regarded as an opportunistic infection, but approximately one-third of infected patients are immunocompetent. We report a rare case of pulmonary nocard...
