A careful history and physical examination remain the most important aspects of headache assessment. enabling the neurologist to decide if any further studies are necessary. Only a minority of patients who have headaches have brain tumors; however, recognition of the headaches characteristically associated with tumors is most important.

Neurologic Clinics, 2001
The total care of a patient with an incurable brain tumor is a complex task. It is best performed by a team of specialized care providers including neurologists, neuro-oncologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, nurses, neuropsychologists, social workers, and physical and occupational therapists.

Radioimmunotherapy of brain tumor
Neurological Research, 2006Despite years of intensive research, the prognosis of high-grade gliomas (HGG) remains poor, as these tumors are highly resistant to currently available therapies. Therefore, there is a need for the development of new therapeutic strategies, such as the use of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) in association with radioisotopes, in order to achieve better ...

Brachytherapy for brain tumors
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2005Over the past several decades neurooncologists have attempted to find an adjuvant treatment that prolongs survival for patients with malignant brain tumors. Brachytherapy, radiotherapy delivered by placing radioactive sources directly into the tumor, was initially thought to be the solution to this problem.

Brain tumors seemed to have increased in incidence over the past 30 years, but the rise probably results from use of new neuroimaging techniques. Treatments have not improved prognosis for rapidly fatal brain tumors. Established brain tumor risk factors (exposure to ionizing radiation, rare mutations of penetrant genes, and familial history) explain ...

Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid tumors in children and comprise 15% to 20% of all malignancies in children. Presentation, symptoms, and signs depend on tumor location and age of the patient at the time of diagnosis. This article summarizes the common childhood CNS tumors, presentations, classification, and recent

Neurosurgical Review, 1986
The treatment of the cerebral glioma continues to challenge neurosurgeons and basic scientists. The lack of major success with chemotherapy and radiation therapy has spurred further investigation into the biology of this tumor and host reactions to it. Much of this research has centred upon evaluation of tumor cell antigenicity and the cellular immune ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2000
This is a review of chemotherapy options for patients with brain tumors, both at the time of initial diagnosis and at recurrence. Gliomas, the most common malignant brain tumors, represent the main focus of the review; chemotherapeutic options for supratentorial, brain stem, and optic track gliomas are discussed.

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2014
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common in patients with brain tumors, occurring in up to 30% of patients with high-grade glioma and up to 20% of those with brain metastasis and primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. The risk is correlated with higher grade malignancies and is directly associated with the production of the potent procoagulant ...

Current Problems in Pediatrics, 1991
Introduction Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), the most common solid tumors affecting children, account for nearly 20% of pediatric neoplasms. * Among adults, in sharp contrast, brain tumors constitute only 1% to 2% of all new cancers.2 Population-based studies have confirmed that the annual incidence of pediatric neoplasms of the CNS has ...
