Glioma Treatment Study

A new Mayo Clinic study found that children with low-grade brain tumors (gliomas) who undergo aggressive surgery to completely remove the tumor have an increased chance of overall survival. If complete removal is not possible, adding radiation therapy to a less complete surgery provides patients with the same outcomes as a complete removal. ?This study further reinforces Mayo Clinic?s practice of aggressive surgical resection,? says Nadia Laack, MD, a Mayo Clinic radiation oncologist and the study?s lead author. ?This is great news for families because it shows that even if a complete surgery isn?t possible, adding radiation to a less than complete surgery reduces their chances of tumor progression to yield the same outcome as if there was a complete removal.? This study was presented at the Society for NeuroOncology Annual Scientific Meeting and Education Day in Montreal on Nov. 21.

THC Kills Glioma Cancer Cells ? Medical Miracles from Europe

April 4, 2008 ? Before speaking to the 5th Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics in Pacific Grove, CA, Deputy Director of NORML Paul Armentano talks about new science on Cannabis (marijuana) and the Endo-Cannabinoid system being done in Europe, while American cancer patients, many with tragic cases of Glioma brain tumors, seek any news of an alternative therapy. Paul references the work of Dr. Manuel Guzman, Madrid, who has seen THC kill brain cancer cells while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed, demonstating the neuroprotectant properties of Cannabinoids. Then Paul is joined by Dr. David Bearman, of Galeta, CA, who tells of the fear that patients feel when encountering an cancer like Glioma. Paul has collected the latest research on medical Cannabis, available in a PDF or booklet at: norml.org We also talk about Cannabis in the treatment of ALS (Lou Gehrig?s Disease) and the documentary I?m doing on Cathy Jordan, a medical marijuana patient who has survived ALS for 22 years now!

What is the difference between a high-grade glioma and a glioblastoma (please speak english?.not doctor)?

Posted by a2gal
from what i understand a glioma is any tumor of the glial cells of the brain; a glioblastoma is a special name for a high-grade tumor of a specific type of glial cell. so if you had a high-grade tumor of a different type of glial cell, it would not be a glioblastoma. (all glioblastomas are high-grade gliomas, but not all high-grade gliomas are glioblastomas?it sounds like one of those crazy logic problems.)
