Two groups of patients with gastro-intestinal (GI) tumours (41) and recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), (17) underwent radioimmunotherapy after the failure of traditional treatments. A number of different MAbs were employed (anti-CEA and anti-Tenascin) which were labelled with I-131. The radiopharmaceuticals were administered by the intraperitoneal and intratumoral routes. As a rule the cycles were repeated to enhance the effectiveness of RIT. No significant early or late adverse effects were recorded. HAMA development was observed in all GI cases but only in a few GBM patients. The cumulative dose delivered to the target tumors was considerable (mean 8,900 cGy) in the GI group, and was much higher in the GBM patients (mean 51,700 cGy) owing to the particular modality of injection. Survival improved in both series of patients. The objective responses to RIT were promising: in the GI group 10 complete remissions (CR) and 6 partial remissions (PR) were observed, while in the GBM group 3 long-lasting CRs and 3 prolonged PRs were documented.

Background: Recent years have seen persistently poor prognoses for glioma patients. Therefore, exploring the molecular subtyping of gliomas, identifying novel prognostic biomarkers, and understanding the characteristics of their immune microenvironments are crucial for improving treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
Methods: We integrated glioma datasets from multiple sources, employing Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to cluster samples and filter for differentially expressed metabolic genes.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant type of glioma with a very poor prognosis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is well-documented to be involved in GBM progression, and FTO is a demethylase. GSTO1 is also associated with tumor progression.

Background: Despite numerous operative and non-operative treatment modalities, patients with glioblastoma (GBM) have a dismal prognosis. Identifying predictors of survival and recurrence is an essential strategy for guiding treatment decisions, and existing literature demonstrates associations between hematologic data and clinical outcomes in cancer patients. As such, we provide a novel analysis that examines associations between preoperative hematologic data and postoperative outcomes following GBM resection.

Background: Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are usually employed for glioma diagnosis. However, GBCAs raise safety concerns, lead to patient discomfort and increase costs. Parametric maps offer a potential solution by enabling quantification of subtle tissue changes without GBCAs, but they are not commonly used in clinical practice due to the need for specifically targeted sequences.

Background: Although the spatial heterogeneity of glioblastoma (GBM) can be clearly mapped by the habitats generated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the means to accurately predicting the spatial location of local recurrence (SLLR) remains a significant challenge. The aim of this study was to identify the different degrees enhancement of GBM, including the nontumor component and tumor component, and determine their relationship with SLLR.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed from three tertiary medical centers, totaling 728 patients with 109 radiation-induced temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and 619 with GBM.
