This document discusses primary brain tumors (PBT). It notes that while the incidence of PBT has remained stable in some age groups, it has increased in children under 14 and adults over 70. PBT account for about 2.4% of cancer deaths each year in the US. The median survival time for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive type of PBT, is 12-16 months. The document then discusses tumor classification, epidemiology, management through surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. It focuses on gliomas like GBM and anaplastic astrocytoma as the most common and aggressive PBT.
A tumor that starts in the brain is a primary brain tumor. Glioblastoma multiforme, astrocytoma, medulloblastoma and ependymoma are examples of primary brain tumors. Primary brain tumors are grouped into benign tumors and malignant tumors.

you will learn about brain tumor, types of brain tumor, grading of brain tumor, risk factors for brain tumor, diagnosis for brain tumor, treatment for brain tumor, supportive care and rehabilitation for patients with brain tumor.
Brain tumor is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among human beings. In this chapter, fundamental principles, concepts related to brain tumors and related management are explored. Nurses provide sensitive, supportive care to the patient and family.
Historically, brain tumors have been treated with neurosurgical resection and radiation therapy. Demonstration of the efficacy of chemotherapy has lagged behind that for most other types of tumors, but currently chemotherapy is being employed more frequently. Recognition of the chemo-sensitivity of many types of brain tumors, in conjunction with the still relatively guarded prognoses of many of these patients, has also logically led to exploration of the use of hematopoietic cell support as a means of increasing dose intensity.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

School

TREATMENT TECHNIQUES AND METHODS
TYPE OF BRAIN TUMOR
3. EPIDOMIOLOGY
For people in the 15- to 44-year-old age group , the overall incidence rates have remained fairly stable in
recent years. The cause of the increased incidence of PBT in some age groups remains unclear, but may be due
to improvements in diagnostic neuro-imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In other words,
the increase in PBT incidence may be more apparent than real due to ascertainment bias.
Although uncommon neoplasms, they rank among the top 10 causes of cancer-related deaths in the United
States and account for a disproportionate 2.4% of all yearly cancer-related deaths. The median survival for a
patient with GBM is approximately 12-16 months, a figure that hasn’t improved substantially over the past 30
years.
4. Primary brain tumors are relatively infrequent and are classifieds malignant or benign, according to the
World Health Organization classification. About 238,000 patients are annually diagnosed with malign brain
tumor worldwide. Contemporary epidemiological studies suggest an increasing incidence rate for the
development of PBT in children less than 14 years of age and in patients 70 years or older. PBT remain a
significant health problem in the United States and worldwide. Overall, they account for some of the most
malignant tumors known to affect human beings and are often refractory to all modalities of treatment. PBT
will be diagnosed in approximately 30,000-35,000 patients in the United States this year and are associated
with significant morbidity and mortality. Of the estimated 14 patients per 100,000 population that will
develop a PBT this year, 6-8 per 100,000 will have a high-grade neoplasm, usually some form of glioma such
as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or anaplastic astrocytoma (AA).
5. MANAGEMENT
Primary pathology of brain tumors
The use of appropriate treatment strategies depends on knowing the type of tumor affecting a particular patient.
Tumor classification and grade, in addition to helping with treatment decisions, provide important information about
the prognosis. This chapter follows the World Health Organization (WHO) classification that separates tumors of the
nervous system into different nasal organisms and assigns each lesion a grade from I to IV, with grade I being
biologically incapacitated and grade IV is the most biologically malignant and has the worst prognosis.
In the WHO classification, tumors of neuronal and meningeal origin contain two large and clinically related groups of
neoplasms. Gliomas (e.g. GBM, AA, oligodendroglioma, medulloblastoma) are the largest subtype in the
neuroepithelial class of neoplasms and are also the most common type of PBT. Tumors of epithelial origin, and in
particular gliomas, can grow sporadically in the brain or become more limited. Disseminated tumors are the most
common and include astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and mixed oligoastrocytoma. Each of these subtypes can
undergo malignant metamorphosis and become the most aggressive form of glioma, GBM.
6. Radiation therapy of the Primary of brain tumors
Fragmented radiotherapy with external beam is a suitable form of treatment for almost all patients with high-grade
gliomas (such as GBM, AA, AO, medulloblastoma), as well as for low-grade PBTs that are surgically inaccessible or after
Have progressed since the initial removal. Numerous randomized controlled trials compared with resection alone
(approximately 38-34 weeks vs. 18-14 weeks) have shown survival benefits for patients with high-grade glioma
undergoing surgery and radiation. Respectively, it seems that the mechanism of cell death is the production of DNA
strand damage by ionizing radiation and the production of highly reactive oxygen radicals, which causes further DNA
damage and disruption of cellular processes. Fatal or fatal damage to endothelial cells in tumor vessels may also be
significant.
The standard approach is applied in the early postoperative phase and initially uses cohesive radiation ports that enclose
the T2-weighted target with a margin of 1 to 3 cm, using a dose of approximately 4500-4700 cGy in daily fractions of
180-200 cGy. After completing this section, a "low cone" is performed, which increases the tumor volume by weight T1
with contrast with a margin of 1 to 3 cm, and brings the total dose to about 6000 cGy.
