Treatment of glioblastoma with re-purposed renin-angiotensin system modulators: Results of a phase I clinical trial.

Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive primary brain cancer in adults. Standard treatment of glioblastoma consisting of maximal safe resection, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide, results in an overall median survival of 14.6 months.

The Renin-Angiotensin System in the Tumor Microenvironment of Glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GB) is an aggressive primary brain tumor. Despite intensive research over the past 50 years, little advance has been made to improve the poor outcome, with an overall median survival of 14.6 months following standard treatment.

A case of subependymal giant cell astrocytoma without tuberous sclerosis complex and review of the literature.

Subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) is a World Health Organization (WHO) grade I tumor most commonly seen in the context of the underlying tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). SEGA in the absence of TSC is exceedingly rare. We report the youngest known case of SEGA in the absence of genetic or phenotypic evidence of TSC with a 10-year follow-up.
