Combined BRAF V600E and MEK blockade for BRAF V600E -mutant gliomas

TL;DR: In glioma, recovery of MAPK signaling upon BRAF inhibition accounts for intrinsic resistance to BRAFV600E inhibitor, resulting in enhanced antitumor efficacy and also reduces the risk of secondary malignancy development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of recurrent brain stem gliomas and other central nervous system tumors with 5-fluorouracil, CCNU, hydroxyurea, and 6-mercaptopurine.

TL;DR: Patients with cerebellar, thalamic, and spinal cord tumors did very well, with an 87% response or stabilization of disease and a median TTP of 122 weeks.
Journal Article

Future directions in the treatment of malignant gliomas with temozolomide.

TL;DR: The mechanism of action of TMZ and strategies for overcoming pathways of resistance to this promising agent, including the use of TMZ in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy, and exploration of alternate dosing schedules are discussed.
