TL;DR: Although several compounds have been proposed as neuroprotective agents, few have been shown to be active against the chemotherapy induced neurotoxicity, and further compromising the quality of life of the cancer patients.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the use of hairpin siRNA expression vectors for uPAR and MMP-9 may provide an effective tool for cancer therapy, and using RNAi to simultaneously target two proteases resulted in total regression of pre-established intracerebral tumor growth.

TL;DR: The role of different imaging techniques such as conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE- MRI) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSE-MRI) perfusion, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and PET/SPECT in differentiation of such treatment-related changes from tumor recurrence are focused on.

TL;DR: Future molecular diagnosis may identify new genomic regions that could harbor genes important for glioma predisposition and aid in the early diagnosis of patients and genetic counseling of their families.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship of osteopenia and osteoporosis in apparently healthy postmenopausal patients with age at menarche and duration of fertility was investigated in Greece.
