  • Is High Altitude an Emergent Occupational Hazard for Primary Malignant Brain Tumors in Young Adults? a Hypothesis
    Published online: 2021-06-03 Original Article Is High Altitude an Emergent Occupational Hazard for Primary Malignant Brain Tumors in Young Adults? A Hypothesis Abstract Neelam Sharma, Introduction: Brain cancer accounts for approximately 1.4% of all cancers and 2.3% of all Abhishek cancer‑related deaths. Although relatively rare, the associated morbidity and mortality affecting Purkayastha1, young‑ and middle‑aged individuals has a major bearing on the death‑adjusted life years compared to other malignancies. Over the years, we have observed an increase in the incidence of primary Tejas Pandya malignant brain tumors (PMBTs) in young adults. This observational analysis is to study the Department of Radiation prevalence and pattern of brain tumors in young population and find out any occupational correlation. Oncology, Army Hospital (Research and The data were obtained from our tertiary care cancer institute’s malignant Materials and Methods: Referral), New Delhi, diseases treatment center registry from January 2008 to January 2018. A total of 416 cases of PMBT 1Department of Radiation were included in this study. Results: Our analysis suggested an overall male predominance with Oncology, Command most PMBTs occurring at ages of 20–49 years. The glial tumors constituted 94.3% while other Hospital (Southern Command), histology identified were gliosarcoma (1) gliomatosis cerebri (1), hemangiopericytoma (3), and pineal Pune, Maharashtra, India tumors (3). In our institute, PMBT constituted 1% of all cancers while 2/416 patients had secondary glioblastoma multiforme with 40% showing positivity for O‑6‑methylguanine‑DNA‑methyltransferase promoter methylation.

  • Correlation of Amino-Acid Uptake Using Methionine PET and Histological Classifications in Various Gliomas
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Annals of Nuclear Medicine Vol. 19, No. 8, 677–683, 2005 Correlation of amino-acid uptake using methionine PET and histological classifications in various gliomas Kenji TORII,* Naohiro TSUYUGUCHI,** Joji KAWABE,* Ichiro SUNADA,** Mitsuhiro HARA** and Susumu SHIOMI* *Department of Nuclear Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka City University **Department of Neurosurgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka City University Objective: The uptake of L-methyl-11C-methionine (MET) by gliomas is greater than that by intact tissue, making methionine very useful for evaluation of tumor extent. If the degree of malignancy of brain tumors can be evaluated by MET-PET, the usefulness of MET-PET as a means of diagnosing brain tumors will increase. Methods: We performed this study on 67 glioma patients between 3 and 69 years of age (36 males and 31 females). Tumors included diffuse astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, glioblastoma, ependymoma, oligodendroglioma, medulloblastoma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor, choroid plexus papilloma, central neurocytoma, optic glioma, gliomatosis cerebri, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, and ganglioglioma. Tumor activity and degree of malignancy were evaluated using Ki-67LI (LI: labeling index) and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The correlations between methionine uptake and tumor proliferation (tumor versus contralateral gray matter ratio (T/N) and Ki-67LI) were determined for the group of all subjects. The existence of significant correlations between T/N and Ki-67LI and between SUV and Ki-67LI was determined for astrocytic tumors. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis of T/N and standardized uptake value (SUV) was performed for the group of astrocytic tumors. We also determined the ROC cut-off levels to ensure high accuracy of the analysis.

    Neurosurg Focus 10 (6):Article 4, 2001, Click here to return to Table of Contents Pediatric supratentorial intraventricular tumors DANIEL Y. SUH, M.D., PH.D., AND TIMOTHY MAPSTONE, M.D. Department of Neurosurgery, Emory University School of Medicine, and the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta-Egleston, Atlanta, Georgia A variety of mass lesions can arise within or in proximity to the ventricular system in children. These lesions are relatively uncommon, and they present a unique diagnostic and surgical challenge. The differential diagnosis is deter- mined by tumor location in the ventricular system, clinical presentation, age of the patient, and the imaging character- istics of the lesion. In this report the authors provide an introduction to and an overview of the most common pediatric supratentorial intraventricular tumors. The typical radiographic features of each tumor and location preference within the ventricular system are reviewed. Management and treatment considerations are discussed. Examination of tissue samples to obtain diagnosis is usually required for accurate treatment planning, and resection without adjuvant thera- pies is often curative. The critical management decision frequently involves determining which lesions are appropri- ate for surgical therapy. Care ful preoperative neuroimaging is extremely useful in planning surgery. Knowledge of the typical imaging characteristics of these tumors can help to determine the diagnosis with relative certainty when a tis- sue sample has not been obtained, because a small subset of these lesions can be managed expectantly.
