Considerations on the role of chemotherapy and modern radiotherapy in the treatment of childhood low grade glioma.

abstract：:We report on the long-term results of a phase II study of pre-irradiation temozolomide followed by concurrent temozolomide and radiotherapy (RT) in patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) and mixed anaplastic oligoastrocytoma.

abstract：:In the treatment of malignant glioma, chemotherapy plays a critical role as do surgical resection and irradiation. Cepharanthine (CEP), a biscoclaurine-derived alkaloid, reportedly potentiates the effects of antitumor agents and induces apoptosis in some cancer cells. Here, we examined the effects of CEP, alone and in...
