Ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, treated with bevacizumab
AbstractBevacizumab (BVZ), a monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been suspected to increase the incidence of ischemic stroke (IS) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in GBM patients. Intracranial vascular events, such as IS and ICH, were retrospectively analyzed in 364 MRI scans of 82 patients with recurrent GBM (1st/2nd/3rd relapse). Out of these 82 patients, 40 were treated with BVZ (178 scans) in addition to basic treatment, whereas 42 patients matching for age and gender received basic treatment (186 scans). Distribution of typical vascular risk factors between both groups ...

The clinical presentation and genotype of protein C deficiency with double mutations of the protein C gene
ConclusionsThe genotype of double‐PROC mutants might show less diversity than heterozygous mutants in terms of the timing of the onset of thrombophilia (newborn onset or late onset).

Vascular complications in glioma patients.
Abstract Vascular complications in patients with glioma most commonly include venous and arterial thromboembolism; however, treatment-induced vasculopathies are also problematic, especially in long-term survivors. The interactions between treatment such as radiation and chemotherapy, the coagulation cascade, endothelium, and regulators of angiogenesis are complex, drive glioma growth and invasion, and create common management problems in the clinic. We review the incidence of thrombotic complications in glioma, the biology of the coagulome as related to glioma progression, prevention and treatment of thrombosis, t...

Rare-33. intracerebral hemorrhage as rare complication of intravascular lymphoma
Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is an aggressive multifocal large cell lymphoma, characterized by neoplastic proliferation and vascular occlusion within the lumina of arterioles, capillaries and venules with a predilection for the central nervous system and skin. The clinical presentation is frequently non-specific and may consist of changes in mental status, focal neurological deficits, seizures, fevers of unknown origin and skin changes. Due to the rarity and absence of specific diagnostic procedures apart from biopsy, diagnosis is difficult and often post-mortem. Neuroimaging findings vary widely, ranging from normal to di...

Bevacizumab, temozolomide, and radiotherapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma: comprehensive safety results during and after first-line therapy
Conclusion The safety profile was consistent with that expected from radiotherapy/temozolomide plus bevacizumab. The increased AE incidence with bevacizumab did not impact patients' ability to receive standard-of-care treatment or to undergo further surgery.

Sub-acute systemic erythropoietin administration reduces ischemic brain injury in an age-dependent manner.
Authors: Thériault P, Le Béhot A, ElAli A, Rivest S Abstract Stroke is associated with neuroinflammation, neuronal loss and blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. Thus far, recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA), the only approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke, increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and is poorly efficient in disaggregating platelet-rich thrombi. Therefore, the development of safer and more efficient therapies is highly awaited. Encouraging neuroprotective effects were reported in mouse models of ischemic stroke following administration of erythropoietin (EPO). However, ...

Contribution of sickle cell disease to the pediatric stroke burden among hospital discharges of African‐Americans—United States, 1997–2012
ConclusionsSCD is a leading risk factor to pediatric stroke in African‐American children. Reducing the number of strokes among children with SCD would have a significant impact on the rate of strokes among African‐American children. Preventative intervention may be modifying initial age of presentation of stroke in children with SCD. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Calcification in high grade gliomas treated with bevacizumab
Abstract Calcification is a rare phenomenon in high grade glioma (HGG). CT scans are sensitive to mineralization but used infrequently for tumor assessment in the MRI era. The presence of calcification can be overlooked on routine MRI. Calcification may reflect chronicity and natural changes in the tumor or its milieu over time and may be accelerated by certain treatments. Calcification may have clinical significance which could signal potential risk for stroke or hemorrhage related to particular therapies; or it may be a positive prognostic factor for treatment response. The true incidence and relevance of calcif...

Ameliorating effects of traditional Chinese medicine preparation, Chinese materia medica and active compounds on ischemia/reperfusion-induced cerebral microcirculatory disturbances and neuron damage
Publication date: January 2015 Source:Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, Volume 5, Issue 1 Author(s): Kai Sun , Jingyu Fan , Jingyan Han Ischemic stroke and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury induced by thrombolytic therapy are conditions with high mortality and serious long-term physical and cognitive disabilities. They have a major impact on global public health. These disorders are associated with multiple insults to the cerebral microcirculation, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, leukocyte adhesion and infiltration, brain blood barrier (BBB) disruption, and capillary hypoperfusion, ultimately resulting...

Cn-15 * adverse effects of bevacizumab in brain tumor patients
CONCLUSION: The range of toxicities was similar to other reports. Interestingly, hypertension was the most common adverse effect and was often not treated. The high incidence of lymphocytopenia may have implications for combination with immunotherapies. These findings underscore the need to develop predictive models to identify patients at high risk for serious treatment-related toxicities.

Cn-20 * bevacizumab causing recurrent cerebral infarction in a patient with glioblastoma: a previously undocumented phenomenon
CONCLUSIONS: Here we describe a case of an ischemic stroke with radiographic correlate while on bevacizumab, with clinical improvement arrested by the development of a recurrent stroke when bevacizumab was restarted. Interestingly, the distal arteries within the stroke bed appeared somewhat attentuated, suggestive of radiation vasculopathy. This case, describing a previously undocumented phenomenon, raises the possibility of a synergistic effect of bevacizumab and radiation vasculopathy. It may be that radiation vasculoapthy alone is typically insufficient to cause ischemia, but the addition of bevacizumab may precipitate ...

Contraindicated Use of Bevacizumab and Toxicity in Elderly Patients With Cancer Health Services and Outcomes
Conclusion Our study demonstrates widespread use of bevacizumab among patients who had contraindications. Black patients were less likely to receive the drug, but those who did were more likely to have a contraindication. Efforts to understand toxicity and efficacy in populations excluded from clinical trials are needed.
