Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone for primary central nervous system lymphoma: Short–duration response and multifocal intracerebral recurrence preceding radiotherapy
D. H. Lachance,David M. Brizel,Jon P. Gockerman,Edward C. Halperin,Peter C. Burger,Orest B. Boyko,M. T. Brown,S. C. Schold +7 more
TL;DR: PCNSL is highly responsive to standard systemic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma chemotherapy regimens, but the pattern and rapidity of relapse suggest mechanisms of failure including inherent or rapidly evolving antineoplastic drug resistance and perhaps limited drug delivery to occult sites of disease in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Significance of Ki-67 Proliferation Index in Supratentorial Fibrillary Astrocytic Neoplasms
Thomas J. Montine,Jacob J. Vandersteenhoven,Alasandra Aguzzi,Orst B. Boyko,Richard K. Dodge,B. J. Kerns,Peter C. Burger +6 more
TL;DR: Histological grading of fibrillary astrocytic neoplasms has proved to be a valuable prognostic tool, but potentially could benefit from more objective data, such as estimates of proliferative rate, the authors have investigated.
Journal Article
MR imaging of compact white matter pathways.
TL;DR: Correlation of the in vivo and postmortem MR appearance of two human brains with Perls and Luxol fast blue stains indicates that the short T2 reflects heavy myelination and fiber density, not iron deposition, which is in contrast to the long T2 signal seen in the subcortical U fibers and deep nuclei of the brain that result from iron deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between cytologic composition and biologic behavior in the glioblastoma multiforme. A postmortem study of 50 cases
TL;DR: The observations suggest that, in spite of the glioblastoma's cytologic heterogeneity, the pathologic substrate of aggressiveness in this malignant glioma is related largely to the proliferation of a population of small anaplastic cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degeneration of the central nervous system associated with celiac disease
TL;DR: The following report describes a 57-year-old man with celiac disease who developed a progressive and fatal neurologic disorder despite intensive medical and nutritional care.
