美国放射治疗和肿瘤学学会上的一系列研究报告表明放疗对小儿脑瘤有效,前途乐观。哈佛医学院和波士顿儿童医院放射治疗联合中心证明,大剂量、积极放疗后,脑干、中脑和脑胶质瘤的患儿存活期明显延长。与J Robert Cassady、James A Belli合作的得克萨斯大学医学系放疗副教授Patricia Eifel最近报道,比成人预后较好,幼儿也可获得成功的治疗,后遗症极少。波士顿一项十年研究的结果证实,80名胶质瘤患儿5年和10年总存活率分别为50％和41％。经放疗后,80人中有69人(86％)临床症状改善,或病情稳定。 27名中脑胶质瘤患儿中,73％的5年存活率明显高于53名脑干病变患儿中38％的5年存活率。在这些患儿中,有间脑综合征者预后最
A series of studies reported by the American Society for Radiation Oncology and Oncology show that radiotherapy is effective and promising for pediatric brain tumors. The Harvard Medical School and the Boston Children’s Hospital Radiotherapy Joint Center have shown that the survival of children with brain stem, midbrain and gliomas is significantly prolonged after high-dose, aggressive radiotherapy. Patricia Eifel, an associate professor of radiotherapy at the University of Texas Medical Department in collaboration with J Robert Cassady and James A Belli, recently reported that the prognosis is better than in adults, and successful treatment is available for young children with minimal sequelae. The results of a 10-year study in Boston confirmed that the 5-year and 10-year overall survival of 80 gliomas was 50% and 41%, respectively. After radiotherapy, 69 of 80 (86%) had improved clinical symptoms or were in stable condition. Among 27 children with gliomas, the 5-year survival rate of 73% was significantly higher than that of 38% of 53 children with brain stem disease. Among these children, those with cerebral syndrome have the highest prognosis
