PURPOSE: NovoTTF-100A is a portable device delivering low-intensity, intermediate
frequency electric fields via non-invasive, transducer arrays. Tumour Treatment Fields (TTF), a …

Purpose: The receptor tyrosine kinase Axl has recently been identified as a critical element
in the invasive properties of glioma cell lines. However, the effect of Axl and its ligand growth …

The objective of this study was to compare MRI response assessment with metabolic O-(2-
18 F-fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine ( 18 F-FET) PET response evaluation during antiangiogenic …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been investigated extensively, both experimentally and
clinically, as an adjunctive treatment in the neuro-oncological field. It is based on the more …

Photodynamic techniques such as photodynamic diagnosis (PDD), fluorescence-guided
tumour resection (FGR) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are currently undergoing intensive …

Introduction The purpose of this study is to evaluate apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)
maps to distinguish anti-vascular and anti-tumor effects in the course of anti-angiogenic …

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a sequence-related factor of the transforming
growth factor-β family, has been identified as a potent neurotrophic factor for a variety of …

Radical tumor resection is the basis for the prolonged survival of patients suffering from
malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme. We have carried out a phase‐II study …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a key regulatory protein in neoangiogenesis, is
strongly expressed in a variety of primary brain tumors, particularly malignant gliomas. In …

The effects of hematoporphyrin derivative, light, and cobalt 60 ( 60 Co) irradiation were
studied in a rat glioma model using an in vivo and an in vitro clonogenic assay. There was no …
