Thromb Res
April 2016
Clinical Division of Haematology and Haemostaseology, Department of Medicine I; Comprehensive Cancer Center Vienna; all Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- Platelets are crucial for cancer development and may contribute to complications like venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients.
- The study aimed to assess platelet activation in cancer patients and its link to the risk of VTE and mortality.
- Results showed that reduced platelet responsiveness was associated with a higher risk of VTE, with notable mortality rates among patients over a two-year follow-up period.
Peritumoral edema on MRI at initial diagnosis: an independent prognostic factor for glioblastoma?
Eur J Neurol
July 2009
Clinical Division of Oncology, Department of Medicine I, General Hospital, All Medical University of Vienna, Währinger Gürtel, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- Peritumoral brain edema in glioblastoma patients significantly impacts neurological symptoms and is debated as a prognostic factor.
- A study of 110 glioblastoma patients assessed the effect of pre-treatment edema, classified as minor or major, on overall survival using MRI scans.
- Findings indicate that major edema correlates with shorter survival rates compared to minor edema, suggesting it should be considered in treatment planning and future clinical trials.
