In conclusion, this study demonstrates that rs1136410 is significantly associated with brain tumor risk particularly with the glioma and meningioma subtypes underscoring the role of PARP1 in brain tumor genetics and its potential as a therapeutic target.
The top-ranked miRNAs were also analysed and compared with biomarkers previously known from the literature. Seven miRNAs were identified as potential biomarkers, namely the miR-125a-3p, miR-4276, miR-4648, miR-4763-3p, miR-663a, miR-6784-5p and miR-873-3p, and were independently validated on the GSE211692 dataset.
WDRT provides excellent local control and adequate safety profiles in NF2-SWN patients with meningiomatosis. Further prospective studies with a predefined target volume are warranted to validate our findings.
Combined PRRT with 225Ac/177Lu-DOTATATE appears feasible and potentially beneficial option in advanced meningiomas. However, given the small sample size, treatment heterogeneity, and lack of controlled comparison, the findings should be interpreted with caution. Larger prospective studies are warranted.
As a result, genetic knowledge is essential not only for diagnosis but also for appreciating the complexity and heterogeneity of these syndromes in clinical practice. Finally, this discussion includes other TPS that, while not yet classified as distinct entities in the current edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the CNS, remain relevant to the field of neuro-oncology.
This study identifies HSG as a critical tumor suppressor in malignant meningioma that restrains tumor aggressiveness by dampening the Wnt/β-catenin cascade. These novel findings highlight the HSG-Wnt/β-catenin axis as a promising therapeutic target, offering new translational strategies for the management of this highly aggressive intracranial tumor.
Subcutaneous schwannomas of the skin (CS) are common in the NF2 population.This trial involves the repurposing of medications already licensed for HIV-ritonavir and lopinavir (Kaletra and Norvir)-that have been shown to reduce tumour growth by reducing cell proliferation in human schwannoma and meningioma tumour cell cultures...Following analysis of trial data, the trial results will be written up for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and will be disseminated at conferences. ISRCTN10422213.
The hematological parameters remained stable for the whole period of observation. The presented clinical case report describes a unique positive experience on the use of [225Ac]Ac-PSMA-617 therapy in mCRPC and brain meningioma, thus allowing us to expand our understanding of PSMA RLT as a method for the treatment of not only prostatic tumors but also tumors of non-prostatic locations.
This case underscores that metachronous collision tumors can arise without radiotherapy, necessitating histopathological and molecular integration for accurate diagnosis. Long-term vigilance is critical for detecting sequential tumors, and shared microenvironments or genetic pathways may underlie tumorigenesis. Comprehensive profiling aids in clarifying pathogenesis and guiding management. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE26149.
Using Ki-67 as a surrogate marker for tumor aggressiveness, we identified a threshold of 5% in tumors with low p16 expression as a sensitivity cutoff for predicting CDKN2A inactivation, suggesting the subset of meningiomas with a higher labeling index could benefit from further molecular validation while the subset with p16hi expression are low yield to profile for CDKN2A status. Our findings support the clinical utility of Ki-67 and p16 expression as cost-effective screening tools to flag potentially aggressive meningiomas, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
