Neural network alterations underlie cognitive deficits in brain tumor patients.
Curr Opin Oncol
November 2014
Article Synopsis
- Brain tumor patients experience cognitive deficits across various domains like attention and memory, regardless of tumor type or location.
- A new approach using brain network theory helps understand these deficits by examining the connections and patterns within brain networks.
- The findings suggest that disturbances in brain network topology are linked to cognitive issues and could inform future treatment and prognostic strategies for patients.
Depression in glioma: a primer for clinicians and researchers.
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry
February 2014
Depression is one of the leading causes of global disability, and a considerable hidden morbidity among patients with glioma. In this narrative review, we summarise what is currently known about depression in glioma, the main unanswered questions and the types of studies that should be prioritised in order to find out. We conclude by calling for a prospective Phase II study of antidepressants in depressed glioma patients, to test methodologies for a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

In recent decades, HRQOL has become an important (secondary) outcome measure in clinical trials for brain tumor patients. It could be questioned, however, whether HRQOL is the only useful outcome measure for assessing the level of functioning and well-being of these patients.
