Relatively decreased 11C-methionine uptake within the anaplastic component of a mixed-grade oligodendroglioma.
A 56-year-old woman presented with a mixed-grade oligodendroglioma. On 11C-methionine [MET]-positron-emission tomography images, heterogeneous uptake of MET was demonstrated in the mass lesion. The part of the lesion with higher MET uptake was identified as an ordinary oligodendroglioma, whereas the part of the lesion with lower MET uptake was an anaplastic component of oligodendroglioma. With ...
متن کاملTumor uptake studies of S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-11C]methionine and L-[methyl-11C]methionine.
Tumor accumulation of S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-11C]methionine ([11C]SAM) was investigated in mice bearing mammary carcinoma (FM3A) and in rats bearing ascitic hepatoma (AH109A). After injection of [11C]SAM the blood clearance of 11C radioactivity was rapid. The 11C level was relatively high in both tumors. The uptake ratios of tumor to organ increased with time in several organs, especially in brai...
متن کاملAnalysis of 11C-methionine uptake in low-grade gliomas and correlation with proliferative activity.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relationship of (11)C-methionine (MET) uptake and tumor activity in low-grade gliomas (those meeting the criteria for World Health Organization [WHO] grade II gliomas) remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to compare MET uptake in low-grade gliomas and to analyze whether MET positron-emission tomography (PET) can estimate tumor viability and provide evidence of...
متن کاملArteriovenous malformation within an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutated anaplastic oligodendroglioma
BACKGROUND The co-occurrence of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and cerebral neoplasms is exceedingly rare but may harbor implications pertaining to the molecular medicine of brain cancer pathogenesis. CASE DESCRIPTION Here, we present a case of de novo AVM within an isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutated anaplastic oligodendroglioma (WHO Grade III) and review the potential contri...
متن کاملOligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma: clinical features, treatment, and prognosis.
BACKGROUND Recent advances that have been made in diagnostic imaging, surgical technique, chemotherapy, molecular biology, and prediction of therapeutic response could have potential impact on the optimal diagnosis and treatment of patients with brain tumors, especially those with oligodendrogliomas. In this article, the topic of oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma is reviewed, h...
