Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Central nervous system malignancies".
This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Central nervous system malignancies.
Central nervous system (CNS) malignancies are cancers that originate in the brain or spinal cord. These tumors can be primary, meaning they start in the CNS, or secondary, meaning they have spread from another part of the body to the CNS.
There are many types of CNS malignancies, but some of the most common include Gliomas, Meningiomas, Pituitary tumors, Medulloblastomas, and Metastatic tumors.
Treatment for CNS malignancies depends on the type of tumor, its size and location, and the patients overall health. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these approaches.

Slide 1-

Central nervous system malignancies
Slide 2-

Commonest malignant solid tumors in childhood 20% of cancers in age < 15 years Annually 20 – 26/ 1 million children below the age of 16 years Age –stratified incidence is: <1year - 27/ 1 million 1 – 4 - 31/ 1 million 5 – 9 - 27/ 1 million 10 – 14 - 20/ 1 million Slightly higher frequency in boys 1.25:1 (especially for medulloblastoma and germinoma) Epidemiology
Slide 3-

Etiology and pathogenesis Association between primary CNS tumors and following conditions/ genetic disorders : 1. Neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1 and 2 2. Tuberous sclerosis 3. Von Hippel- Lindau syndrome 4. Gordlin’s, Cowden’s, Turcot’s syndromes 5. Li-Fraumeni syndrome (mutation of suppressor oncogene p53) Deletion of chromosome 17 or 20 (medulloblastoma) Exposition of the brain to ionizing radiation i.e. after cranial radiotherapy in leukemia
Slide 4-

Pathology Supratentorial lesions (30 – 40%): 1. Cerebral hemisphere ( astrocytoma, ependymoma, glioblastoma, meningioma) 2. Sella or chiasm ( craniopharyngioma, pituitary adenoma, optic nerve glioma) Infratentorial lesions (60 – 70%) 1. Cerebellum (medulloblastoma, astrocytoma, meningioma) 2. Brain stem ( astrocytoma, ependymoma, glioblastoma)
Slide 5-

Classification Based on histogenesis and predominance of cell type Degree of malignancy is defined by grading system e.i. WHO grade based on cellular morphology, mitotic index, anaplasia and necrosis: grades I and II represent benign tumors grades III and IV - malignant tumors
Slide 6-

Clinical presentation Depends on : -age -anatomical site -tumor type -raised intracranial pressure (ICP) -localizing neurological deficits
Slide 7-

Signs of increased ICP Direct tumor infiltration Compression of normal structures Secondary to obstruction of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Slide 8-

Older children: -inilially behavioural changes and declining school performance prior to development of the more classical features of headache, nausea and vomiting , headaches start as generalized and intermittent > increase in both intensity and frequency with time - the child may awake with headache at night, with the pain generally being worse in the morning and improving during the day with an upright posture -School-age children complain of visual disturbances
Slide 9-

Infants and younger children: plasticity of the developing skull and inability to communicate symptoms > -infant may be irritable, with failure to thrive, associated with anorexia and vomiting -regression of developmental milestones -increase head circumference with widened sutures and a tense anterior fontanelle „sun-setting” sign
Slide 10-

Symptoms and signs according to anatomical site of CNS tumors Supratentorial (30-40%) Cerebral hemisphere- hemiparesis, spasticity, seizures (focal or generalized) - para/suprasellar – endocrinopathy (growth failure, diabetes insipidus, pubertal abnormality) - hypothalamus – diencephalic syndrome (infants), developmental and behavioural abnormalities - optic pathway – visual field acuity, color vision deficits, optic atrophy, nystagmus, head tilt - pineal - Parinaud’s syndrome, sleep abnormalities - thalamus, basal ganglia – pain, sensory loss, memory disturbances - intraventicular - meningeal
Slide 11-

Infratentorial (60 – 70%) - posterior fossa – ataxia, nystagmus, dysmetria (presents as clumsiness or worse handwriting) - brainstem – multiple cranial nerve palsies, hemiparesis, spasticity, mood changes Spinal (2 – 5%) - primary intramedullary – pain (local back and root pain), motor and sensory disturbance - spinal metastases – scoliosis, sphincter (bowel, bladder) disturbances, reflex changes
Slide 12-

Diagnostic evaluation Magnetic resonance and computed tomography – basic imaging techniques for brain tumors Positron emission tomography – help to distinguish tumors or lesions with a volume greater than 1 cm3 Conventional radiography of the skull: bone structure, separating off sutures ( due to ICP), calcification within the brain Special methods (for special indications): - brain scintigraphy - angiography -ultrasonography -myelography
Slide 13-

Additional diagnosis Cerebral fluid analysis ( to determine spread of the tumor to the spinal fluid) Electroencephalography Stereotactic biopsy
Slide 14-

Therapy Neurosurgery for maximum tumor removal and low morbidity depending on the location and extent of the tumor -often preoperative relief of intracranial pressure by ventriculoperitoneal or ventriculoarterial shunt - preoperative reduction of tumor edema by corticosteroids - in patients with seizures - anticonvulsive therapy
Slide 15-

Radiotherapy – extension and volume of irradiation depend on the biology and histology of the tumor, age of the child and combination with chemotherapy and neurosurgery - irradiation in children < 3 years of life only in special cases Chemotherapy – depends on tumor type, location and age -efficacy and penetration depend on vascularization of the tumor

Neuroblastoma
Slide 20-

Malignant, embryonal tumor derived from precursor cells of sympathetic ganglia and adrenal medulla Other types of tumors derived from sympathetic nervous system: -ganglioneuroblastoma -ganglioneuroma -pheochromocytoma Possibility to spontaneous regression and differentiation to benign tumor in infants less 1 year of age extremely malignant in older children
Slide 21-

Epidemiology 8% of all neoplasms in children Most frequent malignant neoplasm in infants Mean age at diagnosis 2 – 5 years
Slide 22-

Pathology Two distinct entities: Infant: 1. possibility of spontaneous regression (apoptosis or differentiation into ganglioneuroblastoma) 2. chemosensitive, chemocurable Older 3. chemoresistant malignancies
Slide 23-

Molecular cytogenetics MYCN oncogene amplification. MYCN is located on chromosome 2p. Independent prognostic factor: in stage III EFS for patients with a single copy is curable 80%; for those with amplification MYCN – 20% DNA ploidy: hyperploidy = good prognosis Nerve growth factor receptor: ligands for high –affinity tyrosine kinase receptors TRKA, TRKB, TRKC: -TRKA expression is associated with MYCN single copy, low stage and good prognosis - TRKA (-) + MYCN amplification= very poor survival Structural and numerical abnormalities of chromosome 1
Slide 24-
