Predictive biomarkers of resistance to hypofractionated radiotherapy in high grade glioma
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy plays a major role in the management of high grade glioma. However, the radioresistance of glioma cells limits its efficiency and drives recurrence inside the irradiated tumor volume leading to poor outcome for patients. Stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy is one option for recurrent high grade gliomas. Optimization of hypofractionated radiotherapy with new radios...
متن کاملRe-irradiation alternatives for recurrent high-grade glioma
Despite advances in the fields of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the prognosis for high-grade glioma (HGG) remains unsatisfactory. The majority of HGG patients experience disease recurrence. To date, no standard treatments have been established for recurrent HGG. Repeat surgery and chemotherapy demonstrate moderate efficacy. As recurrent lesions are usually located within the previousl...
متن کاملHypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for recurrent glioblastoma: single institutional experience
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults. Tumor control and survival have improved with the use of radiotherapy (RT) plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy, but the prognosis remain poor. In most cases the recurrence occurs within 7-9 months after primary treatment. Currently, many approaches are available for the salvage treatment of patients...
متن کاملHypofractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Five Daily Fractions for Post-Operative Surgical Cavities in Brain Metastases Patients with and without Prior Whole Brain Radiation
Our purpose was to report efficacy of hypofractionated cavity stereotactic radiotherapy (HCSRT) in patients with and without prior whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). 32 surgical cavities in 30 patients (20 patients/21 cavities had no prior WBRT and 10 patients/11 cavities had prior WBRT) were treated with image-guided linac stereotactic radiotherapy. 7 of the 10 prior WBRT patients had "resistant...
متن کاملHypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery with concurrent bevacizumab for recurrent malignant gliomas: the University of Alabama at Birmingham experience.
BACKGROUND Nearly all patients with malignant glioma will have disease recurrence. Our purpose was to define the treatment toxicity and efficacy of concurrent bevazicumab (BVZ) with hypofractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) of relatively larger targets for patients with recurrent MG. METHODS A retrospective review of 21 patients with recurrent malignant glioma (18 glioblastoma, 3 WHO g...
