Investigating Mechanistic Predictors of Interpatient Variability and Temozolomide (TMZ) Induced Haematological Toxicity for Glioma Patients
A medication called temozolomide has been used for many years in the treatment of high-grade gliomas, which are tumours that originate in the brain. While this drug is the normal treatment for high-grade glioma, a number of patients develop a side-effect which results in low levels of some important blood …
Developing a New Metabolic Imaging Approach (aMRI) for Evaluating Neurological Disease in Patients With Gliomas
This is an observational study to compare the utility of the novel aMRI approach in human brain to the standard of care imaging approach for diagnosing and assessing glioma. Tumor cells have altered metabolism compared to normal cells.This makes metabolic activity imaging useful for diagnosing and assessing neurological disease. However, …
Development of an Artificial Intelligence Model for Optimising Therapy in Gliomas Gliomas
Artificial intelligence (AI) undoubtedly represents the main tool currently available in the definition of complex algorithms and its use in the medical field is becoming increasingly strategic.As reported in the literature, it is increasingly difficult to find new therapeutic strategies for neoplasms, especially neurological ones. Molecular characterisation is therefore increasingly …
Short Term Outcomes After PRoton and PhotoN RadiOtherapy for IDH Mutated Grade 2 and 3 Gliomas
Rationale Proton beam therapy has recently become available for the treatment of patients with WHO grade 2 and 3 IDH mutated (IDHmt) glioma in the Netherlands. The dose distributions associated with proton therapy have substantially reduced the volume of the normal brain irradiated with low and intermediate radiotherapy doses. Whether …
Three miRNA Signatures in Glioma: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Clinical Application
Individual overexpression of the three miRNAs negatively affects cell viability and proliferation mainly in grade III IDH-wild type cells, while in higher grade cells, the effect is more pronounced when the entire signature is overexpressed, individual and combined overexpression of the signature members is able to determine a significant reduction …
Development of Therapeutic Approaches Modulating Molecular Targets Implicated on Cancer Stem Cell-related Aggressiveness
Tumors of the central nervous system affect 21 people per 100,000 every year, a figure that refers to countries with advanced economies, with an increase in incidence over time. Experimental evidence suggests that cancer stem cells (CSCs) may play a key role in the malignancy of these tumors. In fact, …
Monitoring of Patients With Low-grade Gliomas Using Circulating miRNA
With around 3,400 cases per year in France, diffuse gliomas are the most common primary tumours of the central nervous system. Their grade varies from 2 to 4. Whatever the grade, their prognosis is poor, because tumour recurrence is systematic, because no personalised medicine is available for the treatment of …
Tumor Vaccines for Solid Tumors
Glioma is the most common primary malignant intracranial tumor, characterized by limited clinical treatment options and extremely poor prognosis. There is an urgent need for the development of new technologies and clinical practice. With the advancement of immunotherapy, tumor therapeutic vaccines have emerged as a hot topic in the field …
Metabolic Characterization of Space Occupying Lesions of the Brain
High field MR-technologies are expected to boost metabolic spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), but also CEST-MRI. This is due to the fact that increased SNR is available which can be used to increase the spatial resolution of all sequences, or reduction of measurement times. Recent findings has shown that MRSI can be …
Systemic Biomarkers to Predict Radiation-Induced Neurocognitive Decline
Radiation constitutes an integral component in the management of primary brain tumors in pediatric and young adults like medulloblastoma, ependymoma, low-grade glioma, pituitary tumors, etc. A decline in neurocognitive outcomes is a multifactorial effect occurring from the primary disease as well as associated with treatments, including radiation. Since many of …
