1. Beyond Survival - Cognition after Pediatric Brain Tumor
Sammanfattning : Background: Pediatric Brain Tumor (PBT) survivors suffer from cognitive sequelae, especially within the areas of cognitive tempo, attention, executive function and memory. The cognitive difficulties are often accentuated over the years, but knowledge about the long term trajectory is still scarce. LÄS MER
2. Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Brain Tumor Development
Sammanfattning : Malignant brain tumors are aggressive neoplasms that remain challenging to treat in spite of their detailed molecular characterization. Both adults and children may suffer from brain tumors, which, if not lethal, can cause severe long-term and devastating side effects. LÄS MER
3. Experimental models of pediatric brain tumors. Establishment, immunophenotyping and clinical implications
Sammanfattning : Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children. Current treatment protocols fail in 25% of patients and are associated with significant long-term adverse effects in survivors. LÄS MER
4. Genes and brain tumors
Sammanfattning : Although brain tumors are rare and combined with other nervous system tumors account for ~ 2% of all cancers, they are the second most common type of pediatric cancer. The etiology of brain tumors, known as multifactorial traits, is poorly understood. LÄS MER
5. Ultra wideband microwave hyperthermia for brain cancer treatment
Sammanfattning : Despite numerous clinical trials demonstrating that microwave hyperthermia is a powerful adjuvant modality in the treatment of cancers, there have been few instances where this method has been applied to brain tumors. The reason is a combination of anatomical and physiological factors in this site that require an extra degree of accuracy and precision in the thermal dose delivery. LÄS MER
