Differences Between Adult and Pediatric Brain ~ umors
نویسنده
چکیده
Childhood brain tumors are not just the same tumors that arise in adulthood. Brain tumors in children and adults differ significantly in their incidence, tumor type, and treatment. Overall, survival rates for those with brain tumors are better in childhood than in the adult years. However, the immaturity of the child's brain makes treatment decisions difficult, especially in infants. The majority of adult tumors are metastatic lesions secondary to tumors such as cancers of the colon and

متن کاملAdult medulloblastoma, from spongioblastoma cerebelli to the present day: a review of treatment and the integration of molecular markers.
Although they represent the most common malignant brain tumor in the pediatric population, medulloblastomas are rare in adults, with an incidence of 0.5 per million. With only one exception, all of the prospective clinical trials in this disease have been done in the pediatric population, and therefore therapy for adult medulloblastoma has been either extrapolated from the pediatric literature ...
متن کاملInfant brain probability templates for MRI segmentation and normalization
Spatial normalization and segmentation of infant brain MRI data based on adult or pediatric reference data may not be appropriate due to the developmental differences between the infant input data and the reference data. In this study we have constructed infant templates and a priori brain tissue probability maps based on the MR brain image data from 76 infants ranging in age from 9 to 15 month...
متن کاملThe effect of injury timing on white matter changes in the corpus callosum following unilateral brain injury☆
Motor impairments following unilateral brain injuries may be related to changes in the corpus callosum. The purpose of this study was to determine if the corpus callosum is impacted differently in pediatric versus adult hemiplegia. Diffusion tensor imaging was completed on 41 participants (11 pediatric hemiplegia, 10 adult hemiplegia, 10 pediatric control and 10 adult control). Fractional aniso...
متن کاملPediatric gliomas as neurodevelopmental disorders.
Brain tumors represent the most common solid tumor of childhood, with gliomas comprising the largest fraction of these cancers. Several features distinguish them from their adult counterparts, including their natural history, causative genetic mutations, and brain locations. These unique properties suggest that the cellular and molecular etiologies that underlie their development and maintenanc...
