- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is a strong treatment for Myelofibrosis (MF), and splenic irradiation can help shrink the spleen and improve symptoms.
- A study looked at 14 MF patients who had this treatment from June 2016 to March 2021, and most had successful results, with many seeing a decrease in spleen size after three months.
- After about 25 months, some patients were no longer needing transfusions, but a few had relapses or sadly passed away, showing that more research is needed to confirm these results.
Ependymoma pediatric brain tumor occurs at approximate frequencies of 10-15% in supratentorial and 20-30% in posterior fossa regions. These tumors have an almost selective response to surgery and relative and confirmed resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapic agents, respectively. Alongside histopathological grading, clinical and treatment evaluation of ependymomas currently consider the tumor localization and the genomic outlined associated molecular subgroups, with the supratentorial and the posterior fossa ependymomas nowadays considered diverse diseases.
