Matching wits with melanoma brain metastases: from biology to therapeutics.
Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) present a significant clinical challenge. Molecular profiling of MBM is useful to identify molecular pathways, such as the PI3K pathway, that are specifically and differentially altered in MBM. Therapeutic studies should recruit patients with MBM and prospective tissue collection will lay the foundation for further advances.
متن کاملMicroRNAs in Brain Metastases: Potential Role as Diagnostics and Therapeutics
Brain metastases remain a daunting adversary that negatively impact patient survival. Metastatic brain tumors affect up to 45% of all cancer patients with systemic cancer and account for ~20% of all cancer-related deaths. A complex network of non-coding RNA molecules, microRNAs (miRNAs), regulate tumor metastasis. The brain micro-environment modulates metastatic tumor growth; however, defining ...
متن کاملdifferent fractionation in whole brain irradiation for multiple brain metastases
background : this study compared the efficacy of two commonly used fractionation schedules for palliative whole brain irradiation in patients with brain metastases, and assessed the association of the radiotherapy therapy oncology group (rtog) recursive partitioning analysis for brain metastases (rpa) to survival with each schedule. methods : patients with multiple (more than three) brain metas...
متن کاملCytogenomic profiling of breast cancer brain metastases reveals potential for repurposing targeted therapeutics
Breast cancer brain metastases remain a significant clinical problem. Chemotherapy is ineffective and a lack of treatment options result in poor patient outcomes. Targeted therapeutics have proven to be highly effective in primary breast cancer, but lack of molecular genomic characterization of metastatic brain tumors is hindering the development of new treatment regimens. Here we contribute to...
متن کاملRadiosurgery for Brain Metastases
Except for solitary lesions causing mass effect, the treatment of brain metastases is primarily palliative. In the case of solitary metastases, the occurrence of longterm survival is not unheard of; but in general, the guiding philosophy is palliation, reversal of neurologic deficits and maintenance of quality of life and functional status. There has been disagreement regarding the total number...
