BACKGROUNDLower-grade gliomas (LGGs) vary widely in terms of the patient's overall survival (OS). There is no current, valid method that could exactly predict the survival. The effects of intratumoral immune infiltration on clinical outcome have been widely reported.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: The overall survival and pertinent adverse factors for primary intracranial malignant melanoma (PIMM) have not been previously determined. This aim of this study was to determine the rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) and identify the adverse factors for PIMM.
Methods: This study included 15 cases from the authors' own series and 100 cases with detailed clinical data that were obtained from the literature from 1914 to 2018 using the Ovid Medline, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane, and EBSCO databases.
The study aims to assess the management and maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma. Twenty-four female patients with CNS hemangioblastoma, who were pregnant in a tumor-burden status, were identified. Their medical charts, treatments, and follow-up materials were carefully reviewed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Chordoid meningioma (CM) and clear-cell meningioma (CCM) are rare World Health Organization grade II meningioma subtypes. This study aimed to evaluate favorable factors and appropriate therapeutic strategies for these lesions.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical data from 111 cases of grade II meningiomas, including 55 cases of CM and 56 cases of CCM, between January 2011 and December 2015.
Article Synopsis
- * Common symptoms included visual defects and diplopia, with most tumors located in the cavernous sinus; imaging showed solid lesions with specific T1 and T2 signals.
- * Complete tumor removal was achieved in 7 patients, with no recurrences during follow-up, highlighting the indolent nature of these tumors and the need for more extensive research for better understanding.
Objective: Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) and papillary meningioma (PM) are rare variants of World Health Organization grade III meningiomas. In this study, we presented a series of 23 cases from our institution to investigate adverse factors of and appropriate treatment for RM and PM.
Methods: Clinical data from 23 cases of PM and RM between January 2011 and December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed.
