16th International Symposium on Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (ISPNO) 2014 in Singapore

Experts from all continents met in Singapore (Saturday 28-Jun-14 to Wednesday 2-Jul-14), to discuss advances in clinical aspects of pediatric oncology and report the latest research findings relevant to the field.

Encouraging data were presented by the group from Milan. The showed that re-irradiation of patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) at progression after first line treatment with nimotuzumab, vinorelbine and standard radiotherapy appears to be efficient. Eleven of 12 patients with local relapse were re-irradiated, although representing a specific patient selection, and their survival was better than patients (n=5) with local relapse who were not treated by re-radiation.

Mark Kieran (Boston) reported on a clinical trial, http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT01182350, with the aim to estimate the overall survival of children and young adults with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) treated with a molecularly based treatment strategy, compared to historical controls. Based on the molecular characteristics of the tumor, patients are currently treated within this trial by bevacizumab+ irradiation +/- erlotinib (if EGFR over-expressed) +/- temozolomide (if MGMT promoter methylation positive).

During the DIPG symposium the DIPG registries (US, Canadian, European, and Australian) were presented. This will build the basis for future collaborations.

  1. I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
    I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what?
