概括
全脑放射治疗 (WBRT) 是主要治疗中枢神经系统淋巴瘤 (PCNSL) 的关键治疗方法,但会引起神经毒性. 现代策略忽略或挑战WBRT,特别是在老年患者中,以改善结果.

- 神经瘤学神经瘤学
- 辐射瘤学 辐射瘤学
- 血液学 瘤学 癌症学
背景情况:
- 全脑放射疗法 (WBRT) 是治疗初级中枢神经系统淋巴瘤 (PCNSL) 的基石.
- 从20世纪90年代开始,高剂量甲基基化疗 (基于HD MTX的CT) 的整合显著改善了患者的治疗结果.
- 结合WBRT和基于高频MTX的CT可以导致显著的延迟神经毒性,特别是在老年患者中.
研究的目的:
- 审查WBRT在新诊断的PCNSL中不断变化的作用.
- 讨论目前的治疗策略和PCNSL管理的未来前景.
- 为临床医生提供关于WBRT在PCNSL治疗中的地位的最新概述.
主要方法:

- 对治疗结果的分析,包括疗效和神经毒性.
- 检查替代和不断发展的治疗方法.
主要成果:
- 在老年PCNSL患者中,WBRT越来越多地被遗漏或推迟.
- 自主干细胞移植 (HCT-ASCT) 的高剂量化疗正在成为对年轻患者的WBRT具有挑战性的巩固治疗.
- 治疗疗效与神经毒性之间的平衡仍然是一个关键的考虑因素.
结论:
- 在PCNSL治疗中WBRT的作用正在转变,使用减少或推迟的趋势.
- 正在探索像HCT-ASCT这样的替代策略,以减轻神经毒性,同时保持有效性.
- 需要进一步的研究来优化PCNSL的治疗模式,平衡生存效益与长期生活质量.

Treatment Resistant Cancers
3.3K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Primary Lymphoid Organs

Primary lymphoid organs are pivotal in the formation, development, and maturation of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that serve as the backbone of our immune system. This crucial function underscores their fundamental role in maintaining our overall health and immunity. The two primary lymphoid organs of prime importance are the red bone marrow and the thymus.
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...

Cancer Therapies

Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
