This is a pilot study to assess a novel methodology recently developed to simultaneously image tumor hypoxia and proliferation by means of simultaneous FMISO and FLT PET acquisition. FMISO (18F-Fluoromisonidazole) PET is a non-invasive method for detecting tumor hypoxia in solid tumors. FLT
In tumours like Diffuse pontine glioma (DIPG), the diagnosis itself spells a death sentence for the child affected. The current standard treatment is conventionally fractionated daily radiation treatment for 6 weeks which benefits 80-90% patients with temporary improvement in neurological function
The goal of this research is to address the question:
"Does the addition of hyperbaric oxygen to radiation and chemotherapy improve outcomes in locally advanced oropharyngeal or laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma?"
There is reason to believe that hyperbaric oxygen administered immediately prior to
Brain metastases (BM) develop in 22-54% of NSCLC patients during the disease course. NSCLC patients with BM with a median overall survival (OS) of 2-3 months when treated with systemic corticosteroid alone, and a median OS of 3-6 months when treated with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
Glioma is the most common primary malignant Brain Tumor.High grade glioma (HGG) has the characteristics of high morbidity, high relapse and high incidence of causing disability.Despite the progress in the combined treatment of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 2-year survival rate and
A phase II study in relapsing glioblastomas (GBM) using concurrent intraarterial carboplatin chemoradiation therapy.
BACKGROUND - Contemporary treatment of GBM brain tumors involves a first-line treatment in which the patient receives a surgical procedure followed by a combination of radiation and
BACKGROUND Radiation Necrosis: Stereotactic radiosurgery has become integral in treatment of brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations (AVM). In up to 10% of cases, this can lead to radiation necrosis (RN) with significant surrounding vasogenic edema and mass effect. Medical treatment for RN
Rationale: Non-invasive imaging of hypoxia with the aid of PET-scans could help to select the patients having a hypoxic tumor, who could be treated with specific anti-hypoxic treatments. The added value of additional anti-hypoxic treatments depends on the presence of hypoxia and adequate patient
Glioma is the most frequent malignant primary brain tumor and remains a lethal disease with a dismal prognosis. Glioblastoma (GBM) accounts approximately 50% of all glioma and among these tumors, are the most malignant. GBM are characterized by a higher cellular density and by the ample existence of
Aims of the study:
1. To collect adequate brain cancer tissue material for high throughput morphological, protein, RNA and DNA analyses.
2. To combine tissue-related results of these analyses with clinical data to examine the potential of the new biomarkers to assess diagnosis, prognosis and
Brain metastasis remain a common complication of many solid tumors, occurring from 10 to 20% of patients with cancer, and the incidence may arise up to 20-40% in autopsy series. Despite the treatment, the patient outcome is poor and brain metastasis become a major cause of death from cancer.
