Brain Neoplasms and Coagulation

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2013
Brain vasculature is uniquely programmed to protect central nervous system tissues and respond to their metabolic demands. These functions are subverted during the development of primary and metastatic brain tumors, resulting in vascular perturbations that are thought to contribute to progression and comorbidities of the underlying disease, including ...

Migration and invasion in brain neoplasms

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2001
Local invasion of the brain by neoplastic glial cells is a major obstacle to effective treatment of intrinsic brain tumors. Invasion is directly related to histologic malignancy, but occurs to some extent irrespective of tumor grade. Because the brain-to-tumor interface is not well demarcated, total surgical removal is rarely possible; moreover, as ...

Current imaging techniques for the evaluation of brain neoplasms

Current Opinion in Oncology, 1994
The purpose of this article is to discuss the current imaging approaches and new techniques that have been developed in the examination and management of the patient with a brain neoplasm. These approaches and techniques include 1) functional imaging, perfusion, diffusion, localization of task activation, and dynamic circulatory changes; 2) three ...

Brain Neoplasms among Naval Military Men

International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1999
To evaluate risk factors for primary brain tumors, a case-control study was carried out with all death certificates and corresponding occupational histories of males registered in the Brazilian Navy Insurance from 1991 to 1995. Cases were 40 individuals with ICD-9 codes 191, 192.1, and 192.0 (brain and CNS tumors).

Radiation therapy for neoplasms of the brain [PDF]

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1987
✓ The effectiveness and complications of radiation therapy for brain neoplasms are reviewed. While the available data suggest a favorable influence and outcome, randomized studies are needed to further optimize radiation therapy techniques and to integrate new therapeutic modalities.

Metastatic Neoplasms to the Brain

Neurosurgery, 1977
The incidence, pathogenesis, pathology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of metastatic brain tumors are reviewed. The efficacy of the present diagnostic techniques is discussed. The results of brain scanning and/or computerized axial tomography should be confirmed with cerebral angiography to determine as accurately as possible the site ...

Primary Neoplasms of the Pediatric Brain

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2019
Primary brain tumors are the most common solid malignancy of childhood and constitute the most common cause of cancer-related death in children. It is important for the radiologist to understand the differences between pediatric and adult brain tumors. For instance, tumor type varies significantly with age; many histologic subtypes occur exclusively in
