Because ganglioneuromas are benign, treatment may not be necessary, as it would expose patients to more risk than leaving it alone. [citation needed] If there are symptoms or major physical deformity, treatment usually consists of surgery to remove the tumor. [citation needed]
Ganglioneuroblastoma is a variant of neuroblastoma that is surrounded by ganglion cells. It can be difficult to diagnose. [1] Nodular ganglioneuroblastoma can be ...
The most common course of treatment of DNT is surgery. About 70-90% of surgery are successful in removing the tumour. [ 4 ] Since the tumour is most often benign, and does not impose immediate threat, aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation are not needed, and therefore patients especially children and young adults do not have ...
Further treatment is available in phase I and phase II clinical trials that test new agents and combinations of agents against neuroblastoma, but the outcome remains very poor for relapsed high-risk disease. [62] Most long-term survivors alive today had low or intermediate risk disease and milder courses of treatment compared to high-risk disease.
Definitive treatment for ganglioglioma requires gross total surgical resection, and a good prognosis is generally expected when this is achieved. However, indistinct tumor margins and the desire to preserve normal spinal cord tissue, motor and sensory function may preclude complete resection of tumor.
A nerve sheath tumor is a type of tumor of the nervous system (nervous system neoplasm) which is made up primarily of the myelin surrounding nerves.Nerve sheath tumors can be benign or malignant, and may affect both the peripheral and central nervous systems.
CMV is really common—more than half of adults have been infected with it by age 40, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most people with CMV show no symptoms, but ...
Malignant ectomesenchymoma (MEM) is a rare tumor of soft tissues or the CNS, which is composed of both neuroectodermal elements [represented by ganglion cells and/or well-differentiated or poorly differentiated neuroblastic cells such as ganglioneuroma, ganglioneuroblastoma, neuroblastoma, peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors – PNET ...
