  (0.8169)   Do you have any thoughts on the possible chemopreventative effects of COX-2 inhibitors in low grade gliomas (in terms of a possible reduction in the rate of progression to higher grade gliomas) I am aware that no prospective randomised trial has been undertaken (and may never be) but there does seem to be some evidence in other human cancers/pre-cancerous lesions and in preclinical studies. You will no doubt be aware of the recent publications on COX-2 expression and inhibition in the oncology literature. Does it seem reasonable to you to commence long-term COX-2 inhibitors empirically in low grade glioma patients (given that waiting for progression to high-grade gliomas might be missing the boat in some patients)? Thanks for your opinion on this.

  (0.7967)   What is the difference between diffuse astrocytoma grade three, a GBM, and AA grade three? Is it common for low white counts and low platelet counts to continually delay temodar treatments by a couple of weeks?

  (0.7967)   I am a 32-year-old male with no signs or symptoms of any type. A 1.8 x 1.5 low grade glioma in the right insular cortex was discovered as an incidental finding on an MRI 8 months ago. A follow up MRI 6 months later showed no change. There was no sign of infiltration; blood work and EEG were normal. I have no balance, vision or motor skill disturbances. I have never had a seizure. My neurologist and neurosurgeon say they will not do anything because I am ~~too healthy~~. However, I did lose my job because they feel I am at risk for seizures. What are the chances that I am going to have a seizure? Are there any studies or books I can research on my own to find out?

  (0.7967)   What are the statistics for recurrence of partially resected low grade gliomas?

  (0.7742)   I have a low grade glioma, diagnosed last fall. The latest MRI showed that the tumor has grown. My doctor started me on Temodar. The dosage and cycle is different from everything I see on the Internet. I am taking 160 mg daily for 21 days and then off for 7 days. Is there a rationale for this dosage - some new cycle that hasn't made it to the Internet? I'll certainly ask the doctor next time I am there (in two months for MRI and office visit, but I hope that someone has some insight on this cycle.

  (0.7742)   My husband had a seizure in 1993 causing us to find out he had 2 tumors in January, 1993 - but was never diagnosed until August 2001 with Pilocytic Astrocytoma until a biopsy from surgery to remove one that had grown to an unsafe point. My husband just took Dilantin to control his seizures. Since 1993 he grew more tumors. Please tell me the statistics and prognosis of this - no one seems to give answers. I see 5 year survivals between 50% and 75%. He has had this for so long and I am just so afraid that nothing was done for too long. We will be going to the University of Penn Brain Cancer Center on Dec 13th and I am terrified of what we will hear. We have a 9 year old daughter. Here is the info I have... 1) Right Fronparietal Craniotomy for a resection of a right parietal mass (about size of a baseball), which was proved to be a pilocytic astrocytoma from the biopsy. They were not able to confirm positively if any of the cells were malignant - don~t ask me why, I don~t know. The rest is a listing of locations of the rest of his tumors: 2) Right Temporal Lobe Medially - Golf ball size tumor. 3) Anterior left Medulla - One 4) Left Cerebellar Vermis - Three 5) Inferior right Frontemporal Subcortical White Matter toward the Convexity - One 6) Posterior left Frontal Sucortical White Matter toward the Convexity - One. 7) Inferior Right Parietal - One 8) Right Temporal Cortical Junction - One 9) Posterior Left Frontal Cortex - One I think I have them all listed here. ~~They~~ say they think they are low grade gliomas, although there were some questionable cells, based on the first biopsy from the operation for resection in August 2001. Thank You for your help. Christy
