Abstract:

Brain metastasis is a common clinical challenge in cancer patients, particularly those with lung cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma. The prognosis is poor, with median overall survival times measured in months for most patient populations. Established treatments include neurosurgical resection, radiotherapy (including stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic radiotherapy, whole-brain radiotherapy, and new radiation techniques), and supportive care measures. Recently, more and more targeted therapies such as EGFR inhibitors, HER2 antagonists, BRAF inhibitors, ALK inhibitors, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are demonstrating some efficacy in brain metastasis patients and should be considered in the clinical setting.

Abstract:

Tumours of the CNS are characterized by a remarkable diversity of pathological type and behaviour. Although rare, they affect people of all ages and hence have a disproportionate influence on the number of years of life lost to cancer. With few exceptions there is a marked consistency of incidence worldwide. Some types of brain tumour are increasing in incidence and, after many years of therapeutic stagnation, there have recently been some important improvements in treatment and outcome. For both of these reasons the subdiscipline of neuro-oncology is of increasing relevance in cancer medicine....

Abstract:

As long-term cancer survival becomes a widely shared experience, the quality of life of people living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis is increasingly important. Optimizing the prevention and treatment of any psychiatric consequences of certain tumours and treatments is now central to high-quality cancer care. This book—a rather original addition to the oncology and psycho-oncology literature—aims to equip oncology clinicians with the knowledge to more expertly prevent, detect, and manage the ‘organic’ psychiatric disorders experienced by people with cancer. It will also serve as a valuable introduction to contemporary oncology for psychiatrists.The psychiatry of cancer is a distinct subject within the wider field of psycho-oncology. Psychiatric disorders arising through direct biological mechanisms from particular tumours or cancer treatments is a narrower topic still, but one in which oncologists are required to have expertise. This book considers in detail the psychiatric aspects of pro-inflammatory cytokines, endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes, onconeuronal antibodies, brain irradiation, hormone deprivation, glucocorticoid treatment, conventional chemotherapies, and molecularly targeted agents.

Abstract:

cBrain tumors constitute an array of histologic types, the most common being meningioma and glioma. Unlike other cancers, both benign and malignant brain tumors are concerning for survival because of their anatomic location. Two-thirds of brain tumors are benign. The most well established risk factor is high dose ionizing radiation, based on studies of atomic bomb survivors as well as children treated for tinea capitis. In contrast, nonionizing radiation including from cellular telephones, is not a risk factor. Tobacco use does not appear to be associated with glioma or meningioma. There is fairly consistent evidence of an inverse association between allergies and asthma with risk of glioma, potentially through levels of IgE. Finally, occupational epidemiology studies suggest potential positive associations with specific exposures. The identification of modifiable risk factors for brain tumors has been challenging, due in part to the diversity of tumor subtypes.

Abstract:

Certain tumour types can cause psychopathology through direct biological mechanisms such as metastatic spread to the brain, release of onconeuronal antibodies, ectopic hormone secretion, or release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Lung cancers, adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, brain tumours, and ovarian tumours are considered in detail. Confusional states due to brain metastases, syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion, hypercalcaemia of malignancy, and anti-Hu encephalitis are found in lung cancers. Severe depression, due to interleukin-6 release and its actions on the HPA axis and tryptophan metabolism, is common in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. Anti-NMDA-receptor limbic encephalitis, clinically indistinguishable from acute schizophrenia, can complicate teratomas. Gliomas, pituitary tumours, and thyroid, adrenal, and testicular tumours can also disrupt mental health through various biological mechanisms described here.

Abstract:

Tumours of the central nervous system examines the epidemiology, aetiology, genetics and pathology of these heterogeneous tumours. Clinical presentation reflects the site of origin and rate of growth. Investigation usually comprises imaging (MRI superior to CT for most), and biopsy; requirement for additional staging depends on pathology. The treatment of low-grade gliomas may be delayed if small with few symptoms, otherwise surgery and/or radiotherapy. High grade gliomas may be managed with surgery, radiotherapy, and temozolomide chemotherapy in fit patients. Unfit patients should be offered supportive care only. Brief summaries are provided for management of ependymoma, pineal tumours, meningioma, germ-cell CNS tumours, pituitary tumours, CNS lymphoma, acoustic neuroma, medulloblastoma, and spinal cord tumours. Radiotherapy for primary CNS tumours is described along with its side effects, and chemotherapy for these diseases is reviewed. Brain metastases far outnumber primary brain tumours, with generally poor prognosis, but this relates both to the pathology and patient performance status. Appropriate treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy.

Abstract:

Malignant brain tumors are devastating, and increased survival requires new therapeutic modalities. Metabolic dysregulation results in an increased need for glucose in tumor cells, suggesting that reduced tumor growth could be achieved with decreased glucose availability either through pharmacological means or use of a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD). KD provides increased blood ketones to support energy needs of normal tissues and has been shown to reduce tumor growth, angiogenesis, inflammation, peritumoral edema, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, this diet can enhance the activity of radiation and chemotherapy in a mouse model of glioma, thus increasing survival. In vitro studies indicate that increasing ketones in the absence of glucose reduction can also inhibit cell growth and potentiate the effects of radiation. Thus, emerging data provide strong support for the use of KD in the treatment of malignant gliomas and thus far has led to a limited number of clinical trials.
