CPT-11 for recurrent temozolomide-refractory 1p19q co-deleted anaplastic oligodendroglioma.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE A Phase II study of CPT-11 in adults with recurrent, temozolomide (TMZ)-refractory, 1p19q co-deleted, anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) with a primary objective of determining 6-month progression free survival (PFS). BACKGROUND There is no standard therapy for alkylator-resistant

Salvage chemotherapy with CPT-11 for recurrent oligodendrogliomas.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE A prospective Phase I study designed to establish the maximum tolerated dose and secondarily evaluate response rate to CPT-11 in patients with recurrent oligodendrogliomas (oligos) on anticonvulsant drugs (AEDs). BACKGROUND Oligos, which constitute 1-2% for all adult brain tumors, are

Papilloedema secondary to oligodendroglioma.

Oligodendrogliomas are rare slow-growing asymptomatic glial tumours that usually present in patients in their fourth to sixth decades of life. Neurological symptoms that may present include nausea, headache, vomiting, diplopia, confusion, focal weakness, numbness and seizures. The treatment of

A case report about oligodendrogliomas of the fourth ventricle.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Oligodendrogliomas are usually located in the frontal, parietal and the temporal lobe, with the ones in the fourth ventricle quite rare. Hence we want to introduce a case about the rare disease. UNASSIGNED An eight-year old boy complained of progressive headache, dizziness and vomit for

Oligodendrogliomas in Children: Clinical Experiences With 20 Patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Oligodendrogliomas occurring rarely in children are incompletely characterized. The purpose of this study was to identify prognostic factors affecting the local control and survival in the management of children with oligodendrogliomas. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data on 20 pediatric

Oligodendroglioma and juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma presenting as synchronous primary brain tumors. Case report with histological and molecular differentiation of the tumors and review of the literature.

Only registered users can translate articles

Multiple metastatic brain tumors and multifocal primary brain tumors of a single histological type are well described in the literature. The concurrent presence of multiple primary brain tumors with different histological characteristics, however, is very rare. The authors describe the first known

Disseminating anaplastic brainstem oligodendroglioma associated with allelic loss in the tumor suppressor candidate region D19S246 of chromosome 19 mimicking an inflammatory central nervous system disease in a 9-year-old boy.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report the case of a 9-year-old boy clinically presenting with severe headache, vomiting, head retroflexion, nystagmus, and ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed brainstem enlargement leading to the diagnosis of an inflammatory process. In addition, the clinical picture, a monocytic

Association of oligodendroglioma-like cell proliferation and angiomatous vasculature--coincidence or pathogenetically related lesions?

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a case of an oligodendroglioma associated with a cavernous angioma. The patient, a 20-year-old man with an 8-year history of epileptic seizures, presented an acute onset of headache, nausea, and vomiting. Computerized tomographic scan and angiogram revealed multiple vascular malformations

Recent developments in the molecular characterization and treatment of oligodendroglial tumors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although many patients with oligodendrogliomas (ODs) and oligoastrocytomas (OAs) benefit from a combination of surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy, most patients eventually experience recurrence of their disease. Recent evidence has shown that ODs are more chemosensitive than other gliomas, including

Pilocytic astrocytoma with abundant oligodendroglioma-like component.

An 18-year-old girl presented with a history of visual disturbance without headache, nausea, or vomiting in May 2010. In July 2010, the patient visited our hospital because of visual disturbance. Head magnetic resonance images revealed hydrocephalus caused by a ring-enhancing mass lesion located in

Health-related quality of life in patients treated for anaplastic oligodendroglioma with adjuvant chemotherapy: results of a European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer randomized clinical trial.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Little is known about the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients treated for anaplastic oligodendrogliomas. The impact of combined procarbazine, CCNU (lomustine), and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy after radiotherapy (RT) compared with RT alone on HRQOL in the randomized

Spinal cord oligodendroglioma with 1p and 19q deletions presenting with cerebral oligodendrogliomatosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Oligodendroglioma of the spinal cord is a rare tumor that most often presents with spinal cord symptoms. The authors present a case of spinal cord oligodendroglioma that was associated with cerebral rather than spinal cord symptoms. A 30-year-old woman developed nausea, vomiting, and severe

Primary disseminated leptomeningeal oligodendroglioma with 1p deletion. Case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

The authors report the case of a 2-year-old boy with a primary, diffuse leptomeningeal oligodendroglioma in which the deletion of chromosome arm lp was identified by performing a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. This previously healthy child initially presented with malaise,

Efficacy and toxicity of postoperative temozolomide radiochemotherapy in malignant glioma.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of daily temozolomide concurrent with postoperative radiotherapy in malignant glioma. METHODS From 11/1999 to 03/2003, n = 81 patients aged 15-72 years (median 52 years, Karnofsky score 80-100% in 83%) suffering from primary glioblastoma (n

A case of primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis predominantly involving the cervical spinal cord and mimicking chronic meningitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Gliomas may rarely arise in the leptomeninges without any evidence of intraaxial involvement. A case of primary diffuse leptomeningeal gliomatosis (PDLG) histologically diagnosed as oligoastrocytoma is presented. A 50-year-old woman presented with nausea, vomiting and headache. Magnetic resonance
