Survival of high grade glioma patients depends on their age at diagnosis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Although the prognosis for malignant gliomas is normally dismal, it's not infrequent in neurooncologist's experience to find cases with unusually prolonged survival. In order to understand what factors influence survival of high grade glioma patients, a cohort of 196 high (III-IV) grade glioma patients was investigated for possible association between (1) survival and age at diagnosis; (2) survival and micronuclei in tumor tissue; (3) survival and gender; (4) micronuclei in tumor tissue and age at diagnosis. RESULTS:Patients diagnosed at an older age (>64 years) had a significantly higher hazard as compared to younger patients (

    abstract::Advanced melanoma is the most virulent form of cancer and has a poor prognosis. In a previous study, myriocin, an inhibitor of serine palmitoyltransferase, was found to suppress melanoma cell proliferation by cell cycle arrest at the G 2/M phase through decreased sphingolipid levels and increased p53 and p21 (waf1/cip...
