Clinical prognostic factors of adjuvant radiation therapy for low-grade gliomas: results of 10 years survival.
OBJECTIVE Low-grade gliomas compose 5-20% of all glial tumors. The prognosis of the disease can be anticipated by specific clinical factors determined during diagnosis. For this purpose, our study investigated the clinical prognostic factors for low-grade gliomas. METHODS Patients diagnosed with histopathologically confirmed low-grade glioma, followed by Akdeniz University and Süleyman Demire...

Dynamic imaging response following radiation therapy predicts long-term outcomes for diffuse low-grade gliomas.
Quantitative imaging assessment of radiation therapy (RT) for diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGG) by measuring the velocity of diametric expansion (VDE) over time has never been studied. We assessed the VDE changes following RT and determined whether this parameter can serve as a prognostic factor. We reviewed a consecutive series of 33 adults with supratentorial DLGG treated with first-line RT wi...
متن کاملPolymodal therapy for high grade gliomas: a case report of favourable outcomes following intraoperative radiation therapy.
High grade gliomas, frequently with their infiltrative nature, often make the outcome from neurosurgical intervention alone unsatisfactory. It is recognized that adjuvant radiochemotherapy approaches offer an improved prognosis. For these reasons, we opted for surgical debulking, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) in combination with whole brain irradiation therapy and chemotherapy (temozo...
متن کاملHypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy: an effective therapy for recurrent high-grade gliomas.
PURPOSE Salvage options for recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGGs) are limited by cumulative toxicity and limited efficacy despite advances in chemotherapeutic and radiotherapeutic techniques. Previous studies have reported encouraging survival results and favorable toxicity with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, and small studies have shown similar benefit using a shortened course of hypofr...
