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 ...

Tumors of the brain in the Sudan
Surgical Neurology, 1988One hundred twenty-three cases of tumors of the brain encountered in patients admitted over a 10-year period (1971-1981) at the Neurosurgical Section, Shaab Teaching Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan are presented. Special emphasis is directed at the high incidence (45.5%) of meningiomas. Clinical and pathological findings are reported.

Neurologic Clinics, 1995
The widespread availability of neuroimaging tests and the increasing use of stereotactic biopsy or surgical resection to obtain a histologic diagnosis have resulted in more patients with uncommon brain tumors coming to the attention of doctors. This article reviews the presentation and management of some of the less common brain tumors in adults. These

Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 1992
Temporary implants of high-activity 125iodine sources have been used in the treatment of brain tumors since December 1979 at the University of California, San Francisco. For previously untreated patients who underwent external beam radiation therapy followed by implant boost, median survival from the date of diagnosis was 88 weeks for 34 patients with ...

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1995
Pediatric brain tumors are the most common solid tumor and the second most common neoplasm in childhood. Diagnosis is made by CT scan and MR imaging. Treatment includes surgery followed by observation, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. A multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of these children is necessary with nurses and nurse practitioners as ...

Radiology, 1967
The Value of irradiation in the treatment of gliomas and other brain tumors has been well established. In most patients, however, this therapy achieves only palliation, and a permanent cure is produced in but a small minority of cases. Most patients, therefore, present with residual or recurrent symptoms following the initial course of radiotherapy ...

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.

There seems to be no higher incidence of primary brain tumor in pregnancy. There are no extracranial tumors that are likely to metastasize that are uniquely related to the specific pregnancy. Choriocarcinoma during the index pregnancy is rare. Although pregnancy-related choriocarcinoma has a high propensity for brain metastasis, it is in the postpartum
