Glioblastoma in long‐term survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Report of two cases

Abstract: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of cancer in children. Second neoplasms as late effects of therapy for ALL have been recognized as a significant clinical issue given the increasing number of long-term survivors of ALL, because they can be the cause of death in such cases. In contrast, glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. It is a malignant brain tumor that most often occurs in elderly patients, and GBM in young adults or adolescents appears to be rare. … Show more

“…Among them, gliomas at WHO I and WHO II grades grow at a low rate with favorable prognosis, while those at WHO III and WHO IV grades are highly invasive with poor prognosis 2,3. Research indicates that the median survival for glioma patients is about 14–16 months after combined surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy 4,5. Therefore, it is urgent to search for a new sally port for the early diagnosis and targeted treatment of glioma.…”

“…The incidence is relatively similar world-wide with a marginally higher rate of diagnosis in men (3). Reported risk factors for the development of glioma are pre-natal X-rays and prior radiotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but are both rare occurrences and have been contested (4; 5). Peak disease incidence increases with age, but pediatric forms are commonly diagnosed as well.…”
