Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a secreted cytokine with several properties related with tumor development, including differentiation, angiogenesis, invasion, apoptosis and metastasis. There is evidence that PTN has also a relevant role in primary brain neoplasms and its inactivation could be important to treatment response. Astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors are the most frequent primary brain neoplasm...... hiện toàn bộ
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma cells are vulnerable to low intensity electric fields delivered by intratumoral modulation therapyJournal of Neuro-Oncology - Tập 143 - Trang 49-56 - 2019

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a high fatality pediatric brain cancer without effective treatment. The field of electrotherapeutics offers new potential for other forms of glioma but the efficacy of this strategy has not been reported for DIPG. This pilot study evaluated the susceptibility of patient-derived DIPG cells to low intensity electric fields delivered using a developing techn...... hiện toàn bộ
Loss of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase immunoreactivity correlates with poor prognosis and elevated uptake of 11C-methionine in IDH-mutant astrocytomaJournal of Neuro-Oncology - - 2024

The proximate localization of MTAP, which encodes methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, and CDKN2A/B on Chromosome 9q21 has allowed the loss of MTAP expression as a surrogate for homozygous deletion of CDKN2A/B. This study aimed to determine whether MTAP status correlates with clinical outcomes and 11C-methionine uptake in astrocytomas with IDH mutations. We conducted immunohistochemistry for MTAP in...... hiện toàn bộ
Intracranial Thermotherapy using Magnetic Nanoparticles Combined with External Beam Radiotherapy: Results of a Feasibility Study on Patients with Glioblastoma MultiformeJournal of Neuro-Oncology - Tập 81 - Trang 53-60 - 2006

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of the newly developed thermotherapy using magnetic nanoparticles on recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Fourteen patients received 3-dimensional image guided intratumoral injection of aminosilane coated iron oxide nanoparticles. The patients were then exposed to an alternating magnetic field to induce particle heating. The amount of fluid and t...... hiện toàn bộ
Triple-dose Contrast/magnetization Transfer Suppressed Imaging of ‘non-enhancing’ Brain GliomasJournal of Neuro-Oncology - Tập 60 - Trang 25-29 - 2002

PURPOSE: Triple-dose (TD) gadolinium contrast administration and magnetization transfer suppression (MTS) in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have proven to be useful for demonstrating additional enhancing lesions in some diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a subset of brain tumors that demonstrate contrast enhancement with TD and MTS that do not enhance with sta...... hiện toàn bộ
Radiomic features predict Ki-67 expression level and survival in lower grade gliomasJournal of Neuro-Oncology - Tập 135 - Trang 317-324 - 2017

To investigate the radiomic features associated with Ki-67 expression in lower grade gliomas and assess the prognostic values of these features. Patients with lower grade gliomas (n = 117) were randomly assigned into the training (n = 78) and validation (n = 39) sets. A total of 431 radiological features were extracted from each patient. Differential radiological features between the low and high ...... hiện toàn bộ
Maximize surgical resection beyond contrast-enhancing boundaries in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme: is it useful and safe? A single institution retrospective experienceJournal of Neuro-Oncology - Tập 135 - Trang 129-139 - 2017

The extent of surgical resection (EOR) has been recorded as conditioning outcome in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients but no significant improvements were recorded in survival. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of EOR on survival, investigating the role of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) abnormalities removal. 282 newly diagnosed GBM patients were treated with surgery followe...... hiện toàn bộ
Therapeutic Implications of Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF)-1 and IRF-2 in Diffusely Infiltrating Astrocytomas (DIA): Response to Interferon (IFN)-β in Glioblastoma Cells and Prognostic Value for DIAJournal of Neuro-Oncology - Tập 74 - Trang 249-260 - 2005

The precise mechanisms governing the direct effect of IFN-β, including apoptosis induction, are not yet fully understood. To gain a better insight into these mechanisms, we investigated the signaling pathways focusing particularly on interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) and IRF-2 in glioblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, we attempted to determine whether or not IRF-1 and IRF-2 act as additional p...... hiện toàn bộ
