Radiosurgery for glioblastoma is limited to the development of resistance, allowing tumor cells to survive and initiate tumor recurrence. Based on our previous work that coadministration of tissue factor and lipopolysaccharide following radiosurgery selectively induced thrombosis in cerebral arteriovenous malformations, achieving thrombosis of 69% of the capillaries and 39% of medium sized vess...

BACKGROUND To report the feasibility, efficacy, and toxicity of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) and/or inferior vena cava tumor thrombosis (IVCTT) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one patients treated with SBRT using volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for HCC with PVTT/IVCT...

A correlation between cancer and hypercoagulability has been described for more than a century. Patients with cancer are at increased risk for thrombotic complications and the clotting initiator protein, tissue factor (TF), is possibly involved in this process. Moreover, TF may promote angiogenesis and tumor growth. In addition to TF, thrombin seems to play a relevant role in tumor biology, mai...

Floating aortic arch thrombi —blood clots forming in an aorta without aneurysms or atherosclerosis —in a normal are exceedingly rare. The etiology is unknown, and there no guidelines for appropriate treatment strategies. We report case of floating thrombosis patient coagulopathy that was treated surgically. As the mass could not be identified preoperatively as tumor thrombus, synthetic graft re...

Background: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are relatively rare vascular malformations. While the pathophysiology of their formation is unknown, they believed to be acquired lesions related intracranial venous hypertension and dura sinus thrombosis. There have been reports tumors associated with DAVF. Here we complete a systematic search literature. Methods: A PRISMA literature...

conclusions if seizure occurs during the peripartum period, along with providing complete cardiovascular and respiratory support, advanced diagnostic measures are needed and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis should be considered as a possible diagnosis. introduction seizure involves less than 1% of pregnancies; however it is associated with increased maternal and fetal complications. cerebral ve...

abstract cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (csvt) in children has rarely been reported in the literature, especially without underlying disorder. it has increasingly been diagnosed due to clinical awareness and sensitive neuroimaging techniques. the aim of this article was to report a case of cerebral sinovenous thrombosis without underlying disorder. we reported a 5 year old girl, presented with ...
