Survival of patients treated with radiation therapy for anaplastic astrocytoma
BACKGROUND Anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) represents 7% of primary brain tumors in adults. Patient-, tumor-, and treatment-related factors are thought to be predictive of survival. We retrospectively assessed the association of patient-, tumor-, and treatment-related factors with survival in AA treated with radiotherapy (RT) at our institution. PATIENTS AND METHODS Medical records of patients wi...
متن کاملRadiation-induced spinal cord anaplastic astrocytoma subsequent to radiotherapy for testicular seminoma.
A 54-year-old man presented with a very rare case of radiation-induced intramedullary spinal cord anaplastic astrocytoma, which developed 37 years after radiotherapy for testicular seminoma. The patient presented with weakness and numbness of the left lower extremity that had gradually aggravated for 3 months.

متن کاملA case of adult onset medulloblastoma during maintenance chemotherapy for anaplastic astrocytoma one year after radiotherapy.
Multiple primitive intracranial tumors with different histological characteristics are uncommon. Although coexistence of a medulloblastoma with glial tumors has been reported in children, medulloblastoma is rarely found in adults, especially those older than 40 years of age. We present an extremely rare case of a medulloblastoma developing in a 40-year-old male undergoing maintenance chemothera...
متن کاملDisseminated aspergillosis following radiation therapy for medulloblastoma.
A 16 year old girl who underwent surgery and radiotherapy for medulloblastoma is described. Shortly following the completion of treatment symptoms developed suggestive of tumour recurrence. At post mortem the cause was identified as disseminated aspergillosis with extensive cerebral involvement. The importance of this unusual complication is discussed.
متن کاملAnaplastic astrocytoma cells not detectable on autopsy following long-term temozolomide treatment: A case report
We herein present an autopsy case of a glioma patient who received long-term treatment with temozolomide (TMZ). The patient, a 35-year-old man with a hypointense tumor of the left frontal lobe, without contrast enhancement following gadolinium (Gd) administration on T1-weighted images, underwent tumor removal surgery, after which the tumor was diagnosed as anaplastic astrocytoma.
