Background: Prior reports demonstrate the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in high-grade gliomas (HGGs), but the relationship between hormone receptor-positive disease and risk of HHGs in patients with breast cancer (BC) remains uncharacterized.
Methods: Using the SEER 18 registries (2000-2017), we examined the temporal trend of the incidence of HGGs and BC. The standardized incidence ratio was calculated to assess the risk of subsequent HGG in BC patients.
Results: During the study period, the incidence of BC and HGGs remained comparable for men and women. Among 976,134 patients with BC, we found a decreased incidence of HGGs in females, but not in males. Female BC patients with hormone receptor-positive disease were at a lower risk of developing glioblastoma and anaplastic astrocytoma.
Conclusion: Our study findings allude to the protective role of hormone exposure in the development of HGGs, which may lead to the development of therapies targeting hormonal pathways.

Introduction: Radiotherapy-related damage of normal tissue inevitably influences the treatment outcomes in the context of high-grade gliomas (HGGs) treatment. We reported the survival outcomes and toxicities of patients with HGG treated with helical tomotherapy (HT) and the prognostic factors were analyzed.
Materials And Methods: A total of 67 patients (29 had grade III and 38 had grade IV HGGs) who received HT between January 2016 and June 2020 were analyzed.

Objectives: High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are highly malignant, aggressive, and have a high incidence and mortality rate. The aim of this study was to investigate survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with HGGs.
Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 159 patients with histologically confirmed HGGs were included.

Background: The clinical features of cerebellar high-grade gliomas (cHGGs) in adults have not been thoroughly explored. This large-scale, population-based study aimed to comprehensively outline these traits and construct a predictive model.
Methods: Patient records diagnosed with gliomas were collected from various cohorts and analyzed to compare the features of cHGGs and supratentorial HGGs (sHGGs).

We aimed to study whether the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) expression is correlated with the prognosis of patients with high-grade gliomas (HGGs) and predict its expression level prior to surgery, by constructing radiomic models. Clinical and gene expression data of 310 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were included for gene-based prognostic analysis. Among them, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (T1WI + C) from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) with genomic data was selected from 82 patients for radiomic models, including support vector machine (SVM) and logistic regression (LR) models.

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) may be amenable to the neurosurgical technique known as laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), which delivers thermal energy to interstitial brain injuries and wounds with pinpoint accuracy. The purpose of this extensive meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of LITT on wound complications among patients who have brain tumours. Diverse conclusions emerge from a systematic review of pertinent studies, necessitating a comprehensive examination.
