Abstract

Current experience with 12 patients studied prospectively suggests a new approach in the diagnosis and treatment of primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, integrating the techniques of needle brain biopsy, immunohistochemical staining for monoclonal antibody and chemotherapeutic drug delivery in association with blood-brain barrier modification. Computed tomography (CT)-guided needle biopsy of deep parenchymal lesions contributed to the diagnosis in six patients. Immunohistochemical staining methods detected monoclonal immunoglobulins in those patients so tested. Following diagnosis, the patients have been treated with multi-agent chemotherapy in conjunction with osmotic blood-brain barrier modification (five without antecedent cranial irradiation) with an initial complete response rate by CT scan in nine patients, a median follow-up of 19 months from diagnosis, and a 1-year survival of 75%. This experience emphasizes the value of CT-guided stereotaxic or CT-guided needle biopsy, which limits the need for therapy without a diagnosis or the need for a major craniotomy in what are commonly deep, paraventricular lesions. Immunoperoxidase cytochemical stains can detect monoclonal immunoglobulin characteristic of CNS B-cell ...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

CNS Lymphoma

In CNS lymphoma, cancerous cells from lymph tissues or other parts of the body form tumors in the brain and/or spinal cord. Here is the latest research on this rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.
