Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic criteria for experimental protocols in pediatric brainstem gliomas.
TL;DR: The 18-month survival of only 1 of 33 evaluable patients suggests that these criteria did in fact select tumors of poor prognosis, and noninvasive predictors provide a valuable means of selecting for experimental treatment those children who would not be expected to benefit from standard therapies for malignant brainstem tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathologic analysis of primary brain tumors.
Rodney D. McComb,Peter C. Burger +1 more
TL;DR: Diffuse astrocytomas of the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord are classified into three groups according to the degree of tumor anaplasia, and it remains controversial whether these tumors should be classified as a single entity with the potential for differentiation along different cell lines, or whether they should be retained as specific entities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immunohistochemical application of three anti-GFAP monoclonal antibodies to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded, normal and neoplastic brain tissues
TL;DR: The histochemical application of three monoclonal antibodies (Mab) produced in this laboratory, 1B4, 2E1, and 4A11, which are monospecific to GFAP by radioimmunoassay, immunoblot electrophoresis, and immunoperoxidase histochemistry are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized comparison of diaziquone and carmustine in the treatment of adults with anaplastic glioma.

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in efficacy between AZQ and BCNU in patients with anaplastic gliomas as tested in this study, although AZQ was somewhat better tolerated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malignant Change in an Intracranial Epidermoid Cyst
TL;DR: A malignant epidermoid tumor invading the fourth ventricle had histologic features that indicated malignant transformation in a benign epiderMoid cyst, revealing both pathologic enhancement and a low attenuation zone.
