Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary intracranial malignancy with a very low survival rate. Exploring key molecular markers for GBM can help with early diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and recurrence monitoring. This study aims to explore novel biomarkers for GBM via bioinformatics analysis and experimental verification.

Miliary dissemination is common in tuberculosis, but is an extremely rare form of brain metastasis. It is mainly found in patients with primary lung cancer (small cell and adenocarcinoma). Here, we presented a case of miliary metastases of lung adenocarcinoma to the brain without lesion enhancement on MRI after administration of contrast.

Article Synopsis
  • Diagnosing basal ganglia and thalamus germinomas in children is challenging due to normal tumor markers and varied symptoms and imaging results.
  • Four male patients aged 8 to 15 were identified with germinomas, all developing hemiplegia, while one had additional cognitive and physical issues; most showed negative tumor markers.
  • Stereotactic brain biopsy is essential for confirming germinoma diagnoses, and ongoing neuroimaging helps distinguish between conditions and plan biopsies.
