Th1/Th2 cytokine imbalance in meningioma, anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme patients.
The balance between Th1 and Th2 cytokines is thought to be an important factor in terms of tumour prognosis. Serum samples from 61 newly diagnosed patients with brain tumours and 50 age- and sex-matched non-tumour controls were analysed by ELISA for circulating levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12p70 and p40) and interleukin-10 (IL-10); pivotal Th1 and Th2 cytokines, respectively. Patients were divi...
متن کاملPTEN mutation, EGFR amplification, and outcome in patients with anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme.
BACKGROUND Survival of patients with anaplastic astrocytoma is highly variable. Prognostic markers would thus be useful to identify clinical subsets of such patients. Because specific genetic alterations have been associated with glioblastoma, we investigated whether similar genetic alterations could be detected in patients with anaplastic astrocytoma and used to identify those with particularl...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid polyamines in patients with Glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma.
Eighteen cerebrospinal fluid polyamine determinations in 12 patients with glioblastoma multiforme and 76 determinations in 37 patients with anaplastic astrocytoma were evaluated. Cerebrospinal fluid polyamine levels showed no significant relationship to the degree of malignancy or to enhanced tumor volume or volume of tumor central low density as determined by contrast-enhanced computerized tom...

Intratumoralloeal chemotherapy was applied as adjuva nt treatment to 20 patient with reeurrent types of anaplastic astroeytoma (AG3-4) and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). A multiport catheter was implanted into the tumour and a portable Ammaya reservoir was plaeed under the sealp over the ap en eraniotomy bone flap. Doxorubidne (Adriamydne) was given 0.5mg per day for ten day s ,and a total of t...
متن کاملDifferential expression of HIF-1 in glioblastoma multiforme and anaplastic astrocytoma
Hypoxia is an important factor mediating tumor progression and therapeutic resistance, in part through proteome changes mediated by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1. Since glioblastoma multiforme is the epitome of a highly aggressive tumor entity, while lower-grade astrocytomas often show a prolonged clinical course, a profound difference in the extent of hypoxic tissue...
