Central Nervous System Cancers

The NCCN Guidelines for Central Nervous System (CNS) Cancers focus on management of adult CNS cancers ranging from noninvasive and surgically curable pilocytic astrocytomas to metastatic brain disease. The involvement of an interdisciplinary team, including neurosurgeons, radiation therapists, oncologists, neurologists, and neuroradiologists, is a key factor in the appropriate management of CNS cancers. Integrated histopathologic and molecular characterization of brain tumors such as gliomas should be standard practice. This article describes NCCN Guidelines recommendations for WHO grade I, II, III, and IV gliomas. Treatment of brain metastases, the most common intracranial tumors in adults, is also described.

Recent Developments

The recent developments of fast reliable docking, virtual screening and other algorithms gave rise to discovery of many novel ligands of histamine receptors that could be used for treatment of allergic inflammatory disorders, central nervous system pathologies, pain, cancer and obesity. Furthermore, the pharmacological profiles of ligands clearly indicate that these receptors may be considered as targets not only for selective but also for multi-target drugs that could be used for treatment of complex disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, analysis of protein-ligand recognition in the binding site of histamine receptors and also other molecular targets has become a valuable tool in drug design toolkit. This review covers the period 2014–2020 in the field of theoretical investigations of histamine receptors mostly based on molecular modeling as well as the experimental characterization of novel ligands of these receptors.

Abstract Previous genetic studies have shown that wild-type function of the l(1)ogre (lethal (1) optic ganglion reduced) locus is essential for the generation and/or maintenance of the postembryonic neuroblasts including those from which the optic lobe is descended. In the present study molecular isolation and characterization of the l(1)ogre locus was carried out to study the structure and expression of this gene in order to gain information about the nature of l(1)ogre function and its relevance to the development of the central nervous system. About 70 kilobases (kb) of genomic DNA were isolated that spanned the region where l(1)ogre was known to reside. Southern analysis of a l(1)ogre mutation and subsequent P element-mediated DNA transformation mapped the l(1)ogre+ function within a genomic fragment of 12.5 kb. Northern analyses showed that a 2.9-kb message transcribed from this 12.5-kb region represented l(1)ogre. A 2.15-kb portion of a corresponding cDNA clone was sequenced. An open reading frame (ORF) of 1,086 base paris was found, and a protein sequence of 362 amino acids with one highly hydrophobic segment was deduced from conceptual translation of this ORF.

The Impact

The histogenesis and biological behavior of primary tumors of the central nervous system(CNS) are very diverse. The majority of present gliomas as benign, slow growing lesions classied as by the WHO classicati grade I or II (Low grade gliomas) on of CNS tumors. However, a signicant fraction of gliomas develop over a short period of time and progress rapidly and are therefore classied as WHO grade III or IV(High grade gliomas). Astrocytomas are primary central nervous system tumours that can develop in adults or in children. They arise from the Astrocytes. They can be divided into diffuse that generally have a higher grade and poorer prognosis and those that are localised that tend to be of a lower grade and have a better prognosis. In this study, we outline the basic histological spectrum and features, epidemiological aspects and grade of circumscribed gliomas (localised) or other Astrocytic tumours according to WHO classication . These are the Pilocytic Astrocytoma, Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma, Subependymal giant cell Astrocytoma, Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma and Anaplastic astrocytoma . The knowledge of these tumours are important as they are one of the commonest cause of mortality and morbidity in both the young and old, accounting for about 60% of the glial tumours. Therefore neuropathological diagnosis and tumour characteristics will therefore profoundly inuence the impact of treatment strategies.
