OBJECTIVE: The relationship between brain tumors and cognitive deficits is well established in the literature. However, studies investigating the cognitive status in low and high-grade gliomas patients are scarce, particularly ...

Introduction Gliomas are tumors of the central nervous system. Despite new classifications, they are still divided in low and high-grade gliomas, being the latter of greater malignancy. The degree of malignancy is directly ...

The management of progressive unresectable low-grade glioma remains controversial. Treatment options have included radiotherapy, and more recently chemotherapy, usually following an initial period of observation. Within ...

Many aspects of the management of low-grade gliomas have been controversial. Warren Mason reviews the new evidence addressing some of them in the article "Advances in the management of low-grade gliomas, published in Can ...

Through this work we propose a computational technique for the segmentation of a brain tumor, identified as low grade glioma (LGG), specifically grade II astrocytoma, which is present in magnetic resonance images (MRI). ...

Nuclear localization of insulin-like growth factor receptor type 1 (IGF-1R) has been described as adverse prognostic factor in some cancers. We studied the expression and localization of IGF-1R in paediatric patients with ...

Introduction: Low-grade astrocytomas constitute the majority of pediatric central nervous system neoplasms. Gross total resection is desirable as the initial therapeutic approach and is curative in most cases. in the past, ...
