Significats de brainstem tumors en anglès

The study was performed to create an animal model for diffuse brainstem tumors.

Object: Diffuse brainstem tumors are the most difficult type of pediatric CNS malignancy to treat.

Background: Ninety percent of children with diffuse, intrinsic brainstem tumors will die within 18 months of diagnosis.

Symptomatic cerebellar and brainstem tumors grew at rates six and nine times greater, respectively, than asymptomatic tumors in the same regions.

The survival rates for these high-grade brainstem tumors (BSTs) is dismal and optimal therapy has yet to be determined.

Conclusions: The results of this study confirmed the feasibility of giving RMP-7 and carboplatin daily during radiotherapy to children with brainstem tumors.

Object: The authors review imaging and clinical outcomes in patients with metastatic brainstem tumors treated using Gamma Knife surgery (GKS).

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that neonatal rat models for brainstem tumors can be prepared using known injection coordinates and orthotopic cell lines.

But we were noticing or confirming new problems: hearing loss, severe sleep apnea, long bouts of hiccups that are a hallmark of brainstem tumors.
