Proton Beam Therapy for Pediatric Brain Tumor
Cancer is a major cause of childhood death, with central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms being the second most common pediatric malignancy, following hematological cancer. Treatment of pediatric CNS malignancies requires multimodal treatment using a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, and advances in these treatments have given favorable results and longer survival. However, ...
متن کاملTumor treating fields: a novel treatment modality and its use in brain tumors
Tumor treating fields (TTFields) are low-intensity electric fields alternating at an intermediate frequency (200kHz), which have been demonstrated to block cell division and interfere with organelle assembly. This novel treatment modality has shown promise in a variety of tumor types. It has been evaluated in randomized phase 3 trials in glioblastoma (GBM) and demonstrated to prolong progressio...
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 کاملNanoparticles for treating brain tumors: unlimited possibilities.
The use of nanoparticles to improve the distribution and extend the duration of exposure to therapy continues to be investigated and applied in cancer research and treatment, respectively, more than 30 years subsequent to the earliest publications involving its use in experimental tumor models in vivo. Nanoparticle packaging of therapy is of particular interest for its potential to treat brain ...
متن کاملCurrent status of therapy of solid tumors: brain tumor therapy.
Treatment of malignant brain tumors with conventional approaches is largely unsuccessful because curative doses generally cannot be delivered without excessive toxicity to normal brain. Radioimmunotherapy is emerging as an attractive alternative for glioma therapy because of the potential for more selectively irradiating tumor cells while sparing normal tissues. Several institutions are engaged...
