  2. 6. A Novel Approach for Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery Treatment Planning Accounting for High-Grade Glioma Invasiveness into Normal Tissue

    Author : Wille Häger; Iuliana Toma-Daşu; Marta Lazzeroni; Jesper Kallehauge; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tumor modeling; medical physics; model; simulation; glioblastoma; gbm; medicinsk strålningsfysik; Medical Radiation Physics;

    Abstract : High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are a type of malignant brain cancer, which include glioblastomas (GBMs). In adults, GBM is the most common malignant primary brain cancer. Attempts to treat patients with GBMs have been conducted for over a century, but the prognosis has only marginally improved. READ MORE

  4. 7. lmproving diagnosis of central nervous system tumours using genetic and epigenetic tools

    Author : Thomas Olsson Bontell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Histopathology; DNA methylation profiling; DNA methylation-based classification; Diffuse lower grade-glioma; Genomic analysis; Molecular biomarkers; Pediatric glioma;

    Abstract : Brain tumor diagnostics has traditionally been based on histopathology stains. The introduction of immunohistochemistry stains resulted in improved ability to classify these often devastating tumors. The understanding of molecular markers in central nervous system tumors has improved substantially in recent decades. READ MORE

  5. 8. Aspects on Head and neck Cancer with special reference to Salivary Gland Tumours and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism

  6. 9. DNA content, proliferation markers and histopathology as prognostic factors in Astrocytic tumours

    Author : Ludek Vavruch; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The DNA index and S-phase fractions obtained from freshly frozen and paraffin-embedded specimens of 49 primary intracranial tumors showed significant correlation. Very similar results were obtained when a subgroup of astrocytomas was analyzed. READ MORE

  7. 10. Metabolomics and proteomics studies of brain tumors : a chemometric bioinformatics approach

    Author : Lina Mörén; Henrik Antti; Anders Malmendal; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : The WHO classification of brain tumors is based on histological features and the aggressiveness of the tumor is classified from grade I to IV, where grade IV is the most aggressive. Today, the correlation between prognosis and tumor grade is the most important component in tumor classification. READ MORE
