  1. 1. Genes and brain tumors

    Författare :Maral Adel Fahmideh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    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

  3. 2. Beyond Survival - Cognition after Pediatric Brain Tumor

    Författare :Ingrid Tonning Olsson; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Pediatric Brain Tumor; Cognition; Late sequelae; Cranial Radiation Therapy; Neuropsychology;

    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

  4. 3. Experimental models of pediatric brain tumors. Establishment, immunophenotyping and clinical implications

    Författare :Emma Sandén; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatric Brain Tumor; Experimental model; Immunotherapy; Immune monitoring; Medulloblastoma;

    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

  5. 4. Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans in Brain Tumor Development

    Författare :Argyris Spyrou; Karin Forsberg Nilsson; Fredrik Johansson Swartling; Jöns Hilborn; John Couchman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioma; pediatric brain tumors; heparanase; NDST1; heparan sulfate proteoglycans; CD24; glycosaminoglycan mimetics; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

    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

  7. 5. Brain tumors in children - National population-based studies on classification, diagnostics and long-term follow-up

    Författare :Elizabeth Schepke; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatric CNS tumors; population-based; DNA methylation; profiling; CNS-PNET; re-evaluation; incidence rate; long-term outcome; classification; Pediatric CNS tumors; Population-based; DNA methylation; Profiling; CNS-PNET; Re-evaluation; Incidence rate; Long-term outcome; Classification;

    Sammanfattning : Although the prognosis for pediatric tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) has improved over time it is urgent to reduce mortality and improve long-term quality of life for survivors. With this aim, the first step is to identify the correct diagnosis in order to choose the right therapy and avoid unnecessary treatment. LÄS MER
