TL;DR: Compared with historical controls, the addition of concomitant and adjuvant cilengitide to standard chemoradiotherapy demonstrated promising activity in patients with glioblastoma with MGMT promoter methylation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long term outcomes of patients with skull-base low-grade chondrosarcoma and chordoma patients treated with pencil beam scanning proton therapy
Damien C. Weber,Damien C. Weber,Damien C. Weber,Robert Malyapa,Francesca Albertini,Alessandra Bolsi,Ulrike Kliebsch,M. Walser,Alessia Pica,Christophe Combescure,Antony J. Lomax,Ralf Schneider +11 more
TL;DR: PBS PT is an effective treatment for skull base tumors with acceptable late toxicity and optic apparatus and/or brainstem compression, histology and GTV allow independent prediction of the risk of local failure and death in skull base tumor patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-Line Chemotherapy With Local Treatment Can Prevent External-Beam Irradiation and Enucleation in Low-Stage Intraocular Retinoblastoma
TL;DR: CT combined with intensive LT is effective in patients with groups I to III Rbl, permitting the avoidance of EBR in the majority of these young children and, thus, reducing the risk of long-term sequelae.
Journal ArticleDOI
