Survival of infants with malignant astrocytomas. A report from the childrens cancer group

Abstract: Background. Very young children with central nervous system malignant brain tumors have a poor prognosis. As compared with older children, survival is less likely, and those children who do survive frequently have severe impairment of growth and cognitive abilities, resulting partly from treatment with radiotherapy. Therefore, an intensive chemotherapeutic regimen was used to treat children younger than 2 years of age with a diagnosis of malignant astrocytomas. Patients and Methods. Thirty‐nine children younge… Show more

“…[2][3][4][5] Overall, 2-3 year PFS for children on these studies ranged from less than 10 to 34% for medulloblastoma, less than 30% for high-grade gliomas and 0-19% for other primitive neuro-ectodermal tumors. The median time to relapse was 6-9 months from diagnosis.…”

“…Cinco crianças (41,7%) tinham acima de 9 anos de idade. Este resultado é comparável aos da literatura que demonstra que os glioblastomas pediátricos em hemisférios cerebrais ocorrem em crianças por volta dos 12 anos, enquanto os de tronco cerebral em crianças mais jovens 2,3,4,20 . Os nossos resultados são semelhantes aos da literatura, em que a média etária esta em torno dos 10 anos e os casos em crianças menores de 5 anos são pouco freqüentes.…”

“…Os gliomas malignos em crianças, nas maiores sé-ries descritas, acometem os hemisférios cerebrais, o tronco encefálico, cerebelo e até medula espinhal, com leve predomínio hemisférico, diferentemente dos adultos em que o achado fora dos hemisférios cerebrais é excepcional 2,3,4,20 . Os nossos achados são comparáveis aos descritos, em que há leve predomí-nio de tumores em hemisférios cerebrais, mas 33,3% dos casos eram de tronco encefálico, além de um caso em cerebelo, também pouco encontrado na literatura.…”
