Computer Simulation Helps Plan Transducer Placement in Glioblastoma
October 13th 2016For patients who are likely to experience contiguous recurrence of glioblastoma, a new computer simulation using tumor treating fields and employing a personalized transducer array, delivered electric field intensities that exceeded therapeutic intensities in 3 different tumor locations. The findings may aid treatment planning when using the NovoTAL System, which optimizes therapeutic delivery in 2 orthogonal directions to the gross tumor volume and proximal peri-tumoral brain zone.
Early Promise of Radiation Plus PCV in Patients With Low-Grade Glioma
August 19th 2016Erica Bell, PhD, assistant professor-Clinical, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses a mutational analysis examining radiation therapy plus procarbazine, CCNU, and vincristine (PCV) as a potential treatment for patients with high-risk, low-grade glioma.
Models Pave the Way for Improved Outcomes in Medulloblastoma
August 16th 2016To discover targeted therapies for the more common and severe types of medulloblastoma, a laboratory at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute has led efforts to develop genetically engineered mouse models and patient-derived xenografts for studying the molecular basis of the disease.
Dr. van den Bent on Adjuvant Temozolomide in Anaplastic Glioma
July 27th 2016Martin J. Van Den Bent, MD, professor, Neuro-Oncology, Erasmus MC-Daniel den Hoed Cancer Center, the Netherland, discusses the results of an interim analysis of the randomized phase III CANTON trial, which investigated concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide in patients with anaplastic glioma without a 1p/19q co-deletion.
Survival in Recurrent GBM Surpasses Historical Results with Gene Therapy
A novel antiangiogenic gene therapy, added to bevacizumab, led to significantly better overall survival in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme compared with historical patients treated with bevacizumab alone, a small phase II trial showed.
Adding Temozolomide to Radiotherapy Is Effective and Tolerable in Older Adults With Glioblastoma
June 5th 2016Adding temozolomide to short-course radiotherapy after surgery boosted overall survival by nearly 2 months, bringing 1-year survival rates up from 22.2% to 37.8% for elderly patients with glioblastoma.
