OBJECTIVE
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a side effect related to administration of the adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ) in patients affected by glioblastoma. After chemoradiotherapy, adjuvant TMZ is administered as an oral multiple-day regimen, and TMZ-associated CINV may interfere
BACKGROUND
Two receptor signaling pathways that are commonly active in facilitating glioblastoma growth and invasion- that of CCR5 and neurokinin (NK)-1R- have small molecule inhibitors that are FDA approved and marketed to treat other conditions. The anti-HIV drug, maraviroc, inhibits human CCR5's
Background Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is rare and presents with increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar signs. The recommended treatment is radical resection, if possible, with radiation and chemotherapy. Clinical Presentation A 53-year-old man presented with hypertensive
OBJECTIVE
In view of the documented toxicity of continuous daily radiosensitizer doses of temozolomide concomitant with radiation in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, we aimed to compare it with a different schedule of abbreviated radiosensitizer dosing.
METHODS
This was a randomized
We report the case of an 11 year old boy who presented with nausea, vomiting and ataxia. He was evaluated with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Imaging demonstrated minimal enhancement and hemorrhage of a cerebellar mass. Cerebellar glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is
Despite combinations of surgery, radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy used in the treatment of glioblastomas, mean and median survival rates in most patients remain 12 months or less after diagnosis. RT and nitrosourea after surgery are the standard combination for glioblastomas. They may induce
Between January 1988 and October 1988, we treated 12 patients with glioblastoma multiforme with BOPP chemotherapy after surgery and radiotherapy. The protocol consisted of BCNU 50 mg/m2 days 1-3, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum 2 mg) day 1, procarbazine 50 mg/m2, days 1-7 and cisplatinum 20 mg/m2,
Nineteen patients with glioblastoma were treated with nicotinamide and carbogen and radiotherapy. Eight patients did not complete the protocol because of hepatic toxicity from phenytoin/nicotinamide drug interactions, persistent nausea or vomiting with nicotinamide, intolerance of the carbogen
BACKGROUND
Nicotinamide and carbogen have been shown to enhance the radiation effect in tumour models.
OBJECTIVE
Prospective evaluation of the toxicity and efficacy of carbogen and nicotinamide with external beam radiotherapy in the management of inoperable glioblastoma.
METHODS
From April 1995 to
Radiation-induced glioblastoma is usually resistant to all treatments. We report a case with radiation-induced glioblastoma, in which radiotherapy was remarkably effective. A 14-year-old female with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, at the age of 7, underwent 15 Gy of radiotherapy to the
BACKGROUND
Because of the pronounced radioresistance of glioblastoma multiforme the prognosis of this disease remains poor. Therefore, we investigated the impact of an additional simultaneous chemotherapy with the topoisomerase-I inhibitor topotecan (Hycamtin) on the quality of life and toxicity of
BACKGROUND
Despite the combined adjuvant treatment of radiotherapy plus chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ) followed by 6 cycles of temozolomide after surgery, the prognosis of patients with glioblastoma remains poor. We conducted a monocentric prospective study to explore the tolerance and
A case of a glioblastoma multiforme is presented. Craniotomy was performed with total resection of the right temporal tumor. Postoperatively, the patient received adjuvant radiotherapy, but 6 months after therapy he developed severe nausea and weight loss. Recurrence of an intracranial tumor in the
Since May 1978 the hypoxic-cell radiosensitizer, misonidazole (MIS), has been under clinical investigation in a phase III trial with multiple doses of the drug in 11 patients with brain tumours (seven glioblastomas, four recurrent brain tumours) and three patients with oesophageal carcinoma. The
Cerebellar glioblastoma is a rare adult tumor. The accurate diagnosis of cerebellar glioblastoma is important for establishing a suitable therapeutic schedule. However, it is occasionally difficult to diagnosis these tumors. Clinical presentation, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance
