Focal symptoms and signs occurring during brain tumor clinical presentation are dependent on a number of factors. Location and rate of growth are the most critical, followed by overall lesion size and nature, whether infiltrating or causing the displacement of neural structures, but also the presence or extent of associated pathology, including edema, hemorrhage, vascular compromise, and cerebr...
متن کاملPediatric Brain Tumors
Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) of the brain include medulloblastoma (MB) and central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumor (CNS PNET) subtypes, which share histological features yet differ at the genomic level and in clinical outcome. Delineation of the genetic anomalies between PNET subtypes is a current challenge for establishing effective targeted therapeutic strategies aga...
متن کاملBiomarkers of Pediatric Brain Tumors
UNLABELLED Background and Need for Novel Biomarkers: Brain tumors are the leading cause of death by solid tumors in children. Although improvements have been made in their radiological detection and treatment, our capacity to promptly diagnose pediatric brain tumors in their early stages remains limited. This contrasts several other cancers where serum biomarkers such as cancer antigen (CA) 19-...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Pediatric Brain Tumors
Malignant brain tumors are the most common cause of solid cancer death in children. New targeted therapies are vital to improve treatment outcomes, but must be developed to enable trafficking across the blood brain barrier (BBB). Since activated T cells cross the BBB, cancer immunotherapy can be harnessed to unlock the cytotoxic potential of the immune system. However, standard of care treatmen...
متن کاملPediatric Brain Tumors: Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging
The incidence of cancer in the United States in children under 15 years of age has risen in recent years (Ries et al., 1991). This is largely due to the increased incidence of lymphoblastic leukemia and tumors of the brain and nervous system, as opposed to Wilms tumors, soft tissue and bone sarcomas, lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease or other malignancies of childhood. Between 1973 and 1988, the ...
