Object. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains incurable by conventional treatments,
although some patients experience long-term survival. A younger age, a higher Karnofsky …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) with echo‐planar imaging (EPI) technique in depicting the tumor cellularity …

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) frequently involves amplification and alteration of the
epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, resulting in overexpression of varied mutations, …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiation between tumor recurrence and treatment-related
brain injury is often difficult with conventional MRI. We hypothesized that the diffusion-…

Object. The increased use of computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR)
technology has led to an increase in the detection of asymptomatic meningiomas, although …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The different sensitivities to vessel size of gradient-echo
echo-planar imaging (GE-EPI) and spin-echo EPI (SE-EPI) might indicate the relative cerebral …

BACKGROUND The influence of p53 mutations on the biology of astrocytic tumors is
controversial. p53 is thought to be inactivated in the early stage of gliomagenesis; however, what …

We report successful electro-gene therapy (EGT) by using plasmid DNA for tumor-bearing
mice. Subcutaneously inoculated CT26 tumor was subjected to EGT, which consists of …

The relationship between the extent of tumor resection and the progression-free survival,
overall survival, and quality of life was evaluated retrospectively in 105 consecutive adult …

Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDP kinases) are enzymes known to be conserved throughout
evolution and have been shown to be involved in various biological events, in addition …
