Neuro-oncology practice

Sharma AM, Willcock M, Bucher O, Amaratunga T, Khan MN, Loewen SK, Quon H, Essig M, Pitz M.
PMID: 31385994
Neurooncol Pract. 2019 Jan;6(1):22-29. doi: 10.1093/nop/npy012. Epub 2018 May 21.

BACKGROUND: Pseudoprogression refers to areas of enhancement on MRI postadjuvant chemoradiation that arise as a result of treatment-related effects. Pseudoprogression has been well described with temozolomide-based chemoradiation but has not been studied in the setting of procarbazine, lomustine, and...

Primary central nervous system non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare presentation, almost always of diffuse large B-cell type. Although there is no consensus regarding therapy for this condition, induction regimens are based on high-dose methotrexate and consolidation whole-brain radiotherapy, or,...

Alkylation and Carbamylation Effects of Lomustine and Its Major Metabolites and MGMT Expression in Canine Cells.

PMID: 29061931
Vet Sci. 2015 Apr 24;2(2):52-68. doi: 10.3390/vetsci2020052.

DNA Alkylation is thought to be the reason for the efficacy of lomustine while carbamylation has been implicated as the cause for the side effects seen with lomustine treatment such as hepatotoxicity. In the alkylation study we show that...

Procarbazine, CCNU and vincristine (PCV) versus temozolomide chemotherapy for patients with low-grade glioma: a systematic review.

Oncotarget

Oncotarget. 2018 Sep 14;9(72):33623-33633. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.25890. eCollection 2018 Sep 14.

Low-grade gliomas (LGG) encompass a heterogeneous group of tumors that are clinically, histologically and molecularly diverse. Treatment decisions for patients with LGG are directed toward improving upon the natural history while limiting treatment-associated toxiceffects. Recent evidence has documented a...

Evaluation of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase enzyme expression effect on survival of patients with Grade 4 brain astrocytoma.

Journal of research in medical sciences : the official journal of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences

Hemati S, Sayadi A, Mahzooni P, Sirous M.

J Res Med Sci. 2014 May;19(5):426-32.

BACKGROUND: High-grade astrocytoma (Grade 4) or glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are deadly brain tumors. New therapies attempt to increase lifetime and quality of life in patients with malignant astrocytoma. O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) enzyme expression may be effective in prognosis and...

Guidelines for the treatment of adult intra-cranial grade II-III ependymal tumours.

Forum (Genoa, Italy)

Reni M.

Forum (Genova). 2003;13(1):90-8.

Intra-cranial ependymal tumours are very rare in the adult population, so most of reported series are retrospective, include also paediatric patients and have limited statistical power due to the small number of cases. As a consequence, universally accepted prognostic...

Mechlorethamine (Mustargen), Oncovin) (vincristine), procarbazine and prednisone (MOPP) chemotherapy is useful for relapsed canine lymphoma. This study evaluates the efficacy of MOPP after substitution of CCNU (lomustine, LOPP protocol) or BCNU (carmustine, BOPP protocol) for mechlorethamine in 60 dogs...

Anaplastic oligodendroglioma.

Current treatment options in neurology
