Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated different treatment methods for cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), focusing on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) alone, embolization before SRS (ESRS), and conservative management.
- The results indicated high obliteration rates for both SRS (78%) and ESRS (70%), with low rebleed rates across all treatment groups, while SRS patients showed lower disease-specific mortality compared to those managed conservatively.
- Overall, SRS and ESRS were found to be safe and effective, suggesting the need for future long-term studies to further assess their efficacy compared to conservative treatments.
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype glioblastoma (GBM) is a fast growing and highly heterogeneous tumor, often characterized by the presence of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). The plasticity of GSCs results in therapy resistance and impairs anti-tumor immune response by influencing immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Previously, β-catenin was associated with stemness in GBM as well as with immune escape mechanisms.

Because it is infrequently encountered, it is not often considered as a differential diagnosis of sellar masses. The diagnosis is made clinically with the aid of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and should be considered if the patient has endocrine derangements in addition to a sellar mass.
