Patient-specific temperature distribution prediction in laser interstitial thermal therapy: single-irradiation data-driven method
Phys Med Biol. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1088/1361-6560/ad4194. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) has been popular for treating brain tumours and epilepsy. The strict control of tissue thermal damage extent is crucial for LITT. Temperature prediction is useful for predicting thermal damage extent. Accurately predicting in vivo brain tissue temperature is challenging due to the temperature dependence and the individual variations in tissue properties. Considering these factors is essential for improving the temperature prediction accuracy.OBJECTIVE: To present a method for predicting patient...

Standard therapy or additionally radioactive iodine (131I) therapy; which will stop the recurrence of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)?
Endokrynol Pol. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.5603/ep.98240. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant brain tumour. The average survival time for a patient diagnosed with GBM, using standard treatment methods, is several months. Authors of the article pose a direct question: Is it possible to treat GBM solely with radioactive iodine (¹³¹I) therapy without employing the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) gene? After all, NIS has been detected not only in the thyroid but also in various tumours. The main author of this article (A.C.), with the assistance of her colleagues (physicians ...

Radiotherapy plus temozolomide with or without anlotinib in H3K27M-mutant diffuse midline glioma: A retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: This study first reported that anlotinib combined with Stupp regimen is a safe and feasible regimen for newly diagnosed patients with H3K27M-DMG. Further, anlotinib showed significant efficacy for H3K27M-DMG located in the infratentorial region.PMID:38644565 | PMC:PMC11033330 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14730 (Source: CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1594: Endovascular Applications for the Management of High-Grade Gliomas in the Modern Era

Joshua D. Bernstock
High-grade gliomas (HGGs) have a poor prognosis and are difficult to treat. This review examines the evolving landscape of endovascular therapies for HGGs. Recent advances in endovascular catheter technology and delivery methods allow for super-selective intra-arterial cerebral infusion (SSIACI) with increasing precision. This treatment modality may offer the ability to deliver anti-tumoral therapies directly to tumor regions while minimizing systemic toxicity. However, challenges persist, including blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration, hemodynamic complexities, and drug...
