This review addresses the specific contributions of nuclear medicine techniques, and especially positron emission tomography (PET), for diagnosis and management of brain tumors. (18)F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET has particular strengths in predicting prognosis and differentiating cerebral lymphoma from nonmalignant lesions.

Brain tumors are a relatively common cancer in all age groups, and the incidence of both primary and metastatic brain tumors is increasing. Fortunately, dramatic advances in methods of diagnosis, surgical technique, and adjuvant therapy have all contributed to an improved outlook for patients with brain tumors.

Characteristics and treatments of large cystic brain metastasis: radiosurgery and stereotactic aspiration. [PDF]
Brain metastasis represents one of the most common causes of intracranial tumors in adults, and the incidence of brain metastasis continues to rise due to the increasing survival of cancer patients. Yet, the development of cystic brain metastasis remains

Translational nanoparticle engineering for cancer vaccines
Conventional cancer treatments remain insufficient to treat many therapy-resistant tumors. Cancer vaccines attempt to overcome this resistance by activating the patient's immune system to eliminate tumor cells without the toxicity of systemic ...

Brain Tumor Synthetic Segmentation in 3D Multimodal MRI Scans
The magnetic resonance (MR) analysis of brain tumors is widely used for diagnosis and examination of tumor subregions. The overlapping area among the intensity distribution of healthy, enhancing, non-enhancing, and edema regions makes the automatic ...

Differential Targeting of Stem Cells and Differentiated Glioblastomas by NK Cells. [PDF]
We have recently shown that Natural Killer (NK) cells control survival and differentiation of Cancer Stem-like Cells (CSCs) through two distinct phenotypes of cytotoxic and anergic NK cells, respectively. In this report, brain CSCs and their serum and NK

Emerging trends in immunotherapy for pediatric sarcomas
While promising, immunotherapy has yet to be fully unlocked for the preponderance of cancers where conventional chemoradiation reigns. This remains particularly evident in pediatric sarcomas where standard of care has not appreciably changed in decades ...
