Epidemiological features of Central Nervous System tumors at MAHAK Pediatric Cancer Treatment and Research Center
Background: In this study, we examined the epidemiologic characteristics of childhood brain tumors in patients referred to MAHAK Pediatric Cancer Treatment and Research Center (one of the main national referral centers for childhood malignancies in Iran) for treatment. Materials and Methods: This cohort (simple sampling) study consisted of 198 children less than 15 year old with CNS tumor ref...
متن کاملDiagnostic Accuracy of Squash Preparations in Central Nervous System Tumors
Background & Objectives: The accurate assessment of the diseased tissue is fundamental to the diagnosis and management of disorders of the central nervous system (CNS). The ‛squash’ or ‛crush’ technique has been universally employed in the intraoperative diagnosis of CNS tumors. The aim of our study was to evaluate the accuracy of squash preparation in diagnosing CNS tumors by comparing with hi...
متن کاملCentral nervous system tumors.
Central nervous system tumors are relatively common in the United States, with more than 40,000 cases annually. Although more than half of these tumors are benign, they can cause substantial morbidity. Malignant primary brain tumors are the leading cause of death from solid tumors in children and the third leading cause of death from cancer in adolescents and adults aged 15 to 34 years. Common ...
متن کاملPrognosis-related molecular markers in pediatric central nervous system tumors.
In the wake of recent progress in understanding the genetic pathways involved in the development of brain tumors, a major goal is to correlate molecular data with clinical outcome, survival, and response to treatment modalities. This is of particular importance among the pediatric population. Reliable prognostic factors could potentially permit a tailoring of therapy in that only patients with ...
متن کاملPediatric central nervous system germ cell tumors: a review.
Central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors (GCTs) represent approximately 3% of primary pediatric brain tumors and encompass a wide pathologic spectrum. CNS GCTs are most commonly located in the pineal and suprasellar regions of the brain and can be divided into major groups including germinomas and nongerminomatous GCTs (NGGCTs), with teratomas often considered a separate category. The clin...
