Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma (GB) is a highly aggressive brain cancer with poor prognosis, and this study aims to analyze 17 years of therapeutic and prognostic experiences in Mexico.
- A retrospective study from 2000 to 2017 involved 137 patients; most received various combinations of treatments, including stereotactic radiotherapy, Temozolomide (TMZ), and Bevacizumab (BVZ).
- The findings revealed that patients receiving the combination of RT/TMZ/BVZ had significantly better progression-free survival and overall survival compared to other treatment groups, emphasizing the need for further research on biological factors influencing outcomes in this population.
Introduction: Primary lymphoma of the central nervous system is a variety of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that accounts for 4-5% of intracranial tumours and 5% of all lymphomas. It has its origin in the brain, the eyes, the leptomeninges and the spinal cord with no systemic evidence of lymphomatoid activity; the subtype of lymphoma is predominantly of B-type cells.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a descriptive study of the patients diagnosed with primary brain lymphoma who were attended to at third-level centres in Mexico between the years 1980 and 2016.
Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis (LCM) represents a state of systemic malignant disease with poor prognosis. The purpose of this study is to compare overall survival (OS) between intraventricular chemotherapy through Ommaya reservoir (OR) and chemotherapy through lumbar puncture (LP) in LCM. Forty adult patients with LCM were included.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective analysis investigated outcomes in patients with anaplastic oligodendroglioma 1p19q codeleted compared two different protocols (radiotherapy plus temozolomide or PCV). The primary end points were overall survival and progression-free survival.
Background: Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are a group of neoplasms that originate from various cells in the CNS. The increasing incidence and prevalence of this type of tumor in developing countries are striking; however, there are few current studies in Latin America including Mexico estimating the impact of these pathological entities on the general population.
Objective: The objective of the study was to study the characteristics of primary CNS tumors over a period of 52 years.
