FAD can be reduced to FADH 2 through the addition of 2 H + and 2 e −. FADH 2 can also be oxidized by the loss of 1 H + and 1 e − to form FADH. The FAD form can be recreated through the further loss of 1 H + and 1 e −. FAD formation can also occur through the reduction and dehydration of flavin-N(5)-oxide. [8]
All treatments for CNS tumors have significant risks and side-effects. In cases where tumors are slow growing and do not cause symptoms, it may be preferable to closely watch the patient's condition without any treatment, until new test results or symptoms indicate that the patient's condition has worsened.

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour (DNT, DNET) is a type of brain tumor.Most commonly found in the temporal lobe, DNTs have been classified as benign tumours. [1] These are glioneuronal tumours comprising both glial and neuron cells and often have ties to focal cortical dysplasia.
Pilocytic astrocytoma (and its variant pilomyxoid astrocytoma) is a brain tumor that occurs most commonly in children and young adults (in the first 20 years of life). They usually arise in the cerebellum, near the brainstem, in the hypothalamic region, or the optic chiasm, but they may occur in any area where astrocytes are present, including the cerebral hemispheres and the spinal cord.
However, these treatments do produce side effects; most often including nausea, the breakdown of the immune system, and fatigue. Hair loss can occur from both chemotherapy and radiation, but usually grows back after chemotherapy has ceased. Steroids such as Decadron may be required to treat swelling in the brain. Decadron can lead to weight ...
Metastasis is the most common cause of brain cancer, as primary tumors that originate in the brain are less common. [4] The most common sites of primary cancer which metastasize to the brain are lung, breast, colon, kidney, and skin cancer. Brain metastases can occur months or even years after the original or primary cancer is treated.
Treatment typically consists of radiotherapy and steroids for palliation of symptoms. [citation needed] (Proton Beam Therapy should be included here by someone with good knowledge of it; it is more accurate, and very importantly for pediatric cases, has reduced side effects.) Radiotherapy may result in minimally extended survival time.
