Abstract:

Pineal region tumors can include a variety of histologies including pineal parenchymal tumor, germ cell tumor, glial tumor, metastasis and meningioma. The workup for pineal region tumors includes standard magnetic resonance imaging for anatomic imaging, as well as cerebrospinal fluid markers to assess for certain germ cell tumors. Cerebrospinal fluid diversion may be necessary if patients present with hydrocephalus. If surgical resection is indicated based on the suspected diagnosis, magnetic resonance venogram is an important study that influences the surgical trajectory. This chapter reviews common pineal region tumors in the setting of a case presentation. Management strategies and surgical approaches are also discussed in this chapter. Pearls for how to select the surgical approach and complication avoidance are also presented.

Abstract:

Meningiomas are the most common primary central nervous system tumors and account for about one third of all primary brain and spinal tumors. They are classified according to the World Health Organization into 3 groups (I–III). Treatment strategies range from observation, surgery, and/or a radiation therapy. Many meningiomas are slow growing and discovered incidentally. Symptoms can vary widely, depending on the location. Patient’s specific factors and the location of the meningioma in relation to critical brain structures are all important factors in determining the optimal treatment. This chapter presents common clinical scenarios of meningioma. Differential diagnosis, perioperative workup, surgical nuances, and postoperative complications are discussed.

Abstract:

Hemangiopericytoma (HPC) represents a rare, diagnostically challenging tumor for neurosurgical oncologists. Often, HPC appears as a dural-based, extra-axial mass lacking the characteristic hyperostosis and calcification of meningioma. Rapidly growing unconfirmed meningioma-like masses warrant increased suspicion of HPC. These tumors differ significantly from meningiomas in natural history and implications for patient morbidity and mortality. Histopathological analysis is required for proper diagnosis. MRI with and without contrast is recommended for operative planning, and angiography and preoperative embolization may be necessary for highly vascular HPCs. Operative goals include maximal, safe gross total resection. Evidence suggests adjuvant radiosurgery or radiation therapy benefits patients regardless of the extent of surgical resection.

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:

Meningiomas are the most common type of primary brain tumour, comprising approximately one-third of all intracranial neoplasms. It is therefore important for all neuro-oncologists to understand the biology and optimal managements of these tumours. The majority of meningiomas are World Health Organization grade I benign tumours, but grade II (atypical) or grade III (anaplastic) tumours are not uncommon. Total surgical removal is the standard of care but may not be feasible if the tumour involves critical structures such as cranial nerves or important blood vessels. Conventional radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, or particle irradiation is used for residual or recurrent tumours. To date, medical treatments have had a limited role, except for controlling seizures. However, there are ongoing clinical trials with molecularly targeted drugs and immunotherapies based on improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of these tumours. In this chapter, the clinical presentation, biology, and therapy for these tumours are discussed.

Abstract:

In 2014, an estimated 1.9 billion adults worldwide were either overweight (BMI 25–29.9) or obese (BMI ≥30). The so-called obesity epidemic began in high-income, English-speaking countries in the early 1970s, but soon spread globally; more than one-third (38%) of all adults and 600,000 children under age five are overweight or obese, as are two-thirds (69%) of adults in the United States. Excessive body fat is a major cause of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and liver disease, among other disorders, and has been designated a definite cause of at least fourteen cancer sites: breast (postmenopausal), colorectum, endometrium, esophagus (adenocarcinoma), gallbladder, kidney (renal cell), pancreas, gastric cardia, liver, ovary, prostate (advanced tumors), multiple myeloma, thyroid, and meningioma. Mechanisms by which adipose tissue are thought to promote tumor growth include the endocrine and metabolic effects of fat on sex hormones, growth factors, and inflammation, as well as local chemical or mechanical injury of gastrointestinal organs.

Abstract:

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a genetic disorder caused by constitutional mutations in the NF2 tumor-suppressor gene. Bilateral vestibular schwannomas are the hallmark of the syndrome, though meningiomas, ependymomas, and other peripheral schwannomas are common. Inheritance is autosomal dominant and de novo mutations are found in about 50% of patients. Standard treatment for symptomatic tumors is surgery. Radiation therapy may be considered for progressive tumors that are not surgically accessible, but secondary cancers after radiation have been reported. Retrospective studies suggest that bevacizumab may be active for progressive vestibular schwannomas and trials of chemotherapy for NF2-related tumors are in progress. This chapter reviews the epidemiology, genetic features, clinical characteristics, and current treatments for patients with NF2.

Abstract:

Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor diagnosed in adults. Arising from the arachnoid (meningothelial) cells of the inner layer of the dura, they are often slow growing, but can lead to significant morbidity. They can invade through the outer layer of dura into overlying bone or skin, or into critical bordering structures such as the cavernous sinus or orbits, or encase cerebral blood vessels. These limitations can make surgical resection difficult if not impossible in some circumstance. However, they rarely metastasize outside the central nervous system (CNS), with the lungs being the most common site seen with higher-grade tumors.

Abstract:

Neurological tumours are categorized by the WHO as follows: neuroepithelial tumours (gliomas, oligodendrogliomas, ependymomas, pineal parenchymal tumours, medulloblastoma, neuronal and neuroglial tumours); cranial and paraspinal nerve tumours (schwannoma, neurofibromas); meningeal tumours (meningiomas); lymphomas; germ cell tumours (germinoma, teratoma); sellar region tumours (cranipharyngioma); and metastases. The tumours are classified according to grade. The WHO histological grading scheme used for astrocytomas is based on mitoses, nuclear pleomorphism, necrosis, and endothelial proliferation. WHO Grade I and Grade II tumours are low-grade tumours, and WHO Grade III and Grade IV tumours are high-grade tumours.

Abstract:

Pineal region tumors include a diverse array of neoplasms arising from various components of the pineal gland, including germ cell tumors, germinomas, teratomas, pineocytomas, pineoblastomas, and tumors derived from glial tissues including gliomas, astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Benign lesions of the pineal gland can include pineal cysts, calcifications and meningiomas. Metastatic tumors can also be found in the pineal region. Numerous infectious and inflammatory conditions can mimic pineal tumors. Most patients present with symptoms of hydrocephalus or Parinaud’s syndrome. Diagnosis often requires biopsy, though some germinomas may be diagnosed based solely on serum and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers.

Abstract:

‘Tumours of the cranial nerves’ describes diagnosis and management for the most common tumours such as vestibular (acoustic) schwannomas as well as for rare entities such as optic nerve sheath meningioma and esthesioneuroblastoma. It reviews the current data concerning epidemiology and the grading systems according to the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumours and describes refined magnetic resonance imaging techniques for differential diagnosis. Special emphasis is placed on the discussion of specific therapeutic modalities such as microsurgery, radiotherapy, as well as stereotactic radiosurgery, either alone or in combination. The focus of the differential therapeutic considerations is to provide personalized approaches in order to attain maximal efficacy with preservation of neurological function.

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.
