Venous thrombosis in patients with high-grade glioma.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW High-grade glioma (HGG) patients are at particularly high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurrence and recurrence. VTE is associated with worsened survival in these patients. At present, the main challenge when prescribing anticoagulants in HGG patients is to address the risk of intracranial hemorrhage and provide the optimal treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Here, we discus...
متن کاملVenous Thromboembolism in Patients with High-Grade Glioma.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), incorporating both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common, morbid, and potentially fatal condition. Patients undergoing surgery are at increased risk of VTE due to many perioperative factors, and patients undergoing surgery for high-grade glioma (HGG) have been found to be at an even higher risk than general surgical patients. Chemical prophylaxis...

DESIGN We performed a retrospective analysis of 64 patients enrolled in two prospective clinical trials of chemotherapy and radiation therapy for newly diagnosed high-grade glioma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The 64 patients were 18 years of age or older and had histolog...
متن کاملManagement of Patients with High-grade Glioma
The scientific basis for the surgical management of patients with glioma is rapidly evolving. The infiltrative nature of these cancers precludes a surgical cure, but despite this, cytoreductive surgery remains central to high-quality patient’s care. In addition to tissue sampling for accurate histopathological diagnosis and molecular genetic characterisation, clinical benefit from decompression...
