The initial report of NRG Oncology/Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0424 demonstrated a 3-year overall survival benefit with the addition temozolomide to radiotherapy compared historical control. However, an important end point trial-evaluation association between O6-methylgaunine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation and outcomes-was not previously reported.To examine proportion patients in Oncology/RTOG MGMT its outcomes.Specimens collected were analyzed after trial...

With advances in the understanding of histopathology on outcome, accurate meningioma grading becomes critical and drives treatment selection. The 2000 2007 WHO schema greatly increased proportion grade II meningiomas. Although associations with progression-free survival (PFS) overall (OS) have been independently validated, interobserver concordance has not formally assessed. Once mature, NRG Oncology RTOG-0539 will report PFS OS variably treated low-, intermediate-, high-risk cohorts. We...

Summary Marizomib, a natural marine product, is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor currently under investigation in relapsed‐refractory multiple myeloma ( RRMM ) and malignant glioma. Central nervous system‐multiple CNS ‐ MM rare manifestation of extra‐medullary disease with few therapeutic options, highlighting the unmet clinical need these patients. Marizomib demonstrated encouraging activity has emerging glioma, making it potential intervention. Herein, we present two patients...

Background/Objectives: The Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) was established to expedite proton outcomes research in the pediatric population requiring radiotherapy. Here we introduce PPCR as a resource oncology community and provide an overview of data available for further study collaboration. Design/Methods: A multi-institutional registry integrated clinical, dosimetric, radiographic, patient-reported patients undergoing radiation therapy conceived May 2010. Massachusetts...

Abstract Background Hypofractionated-SRS (HF-SRS) may allow for improved local control and a reduced risk of radiation necrosis compared to single-fraction-SRS (SF-SRS). However, data comparing these two treatment approaches are limited. The purpose this study was compare clinical outcomes between SF-SRS versus HF-SRS across our multi-center academic network. Methods Patients treated with or brain metastasis from 2013 2018 5 oncology centers were retrospectively reviewed. dosing...

The object of this study was to assess outcomes in patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) treated by Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS); lesions were stratified size, symptomatology, and Spetzler-Martin (S-M) grade.The authors performed a retrospective analysis 102 for an AVM single-dose or staged-dose SRS between 1993 2004. Lesions grouped S-M grade, as hemorrhagic nonhemorrhagic, small (< 3 cm) large (≥ cm). Outcomes included death, morbidity (new neurological deficit,...

Abstract Background Children with brain tumors can experience symptom burden throughout their disease continuum. The aim of the study was to evaluate reported by children and factors that potentially were associated symptoms. Methods Data from 199 aged 7–22 (mean age = 14 years; 52% males; 76% white) analyzed. Symptom assessed using Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) via computerized adaptive testing (CAT)—anxiety, depression, fatigue, mobility, upper extremity...
