Case Scenario for CNS-Brain Cancer
This is a case of a 45-year-old female, smoker, non-diabetic,
non-hypertensive who was having on and off headache for 5 months
prior to consult (April, 2015), this is associated with nausea and
vomiting. The headache was becoming recurrent until August of
2015
she decided to consult her doctor. Aside from nausea and vomiting,
symptoms include weakness of the left side of the body and numbness
and tingling sensation. Apparently, complete neurological
examination was done and it was unremarkable. A CT scan was
done on Sept 30, 2015 with the following findings:
A contrast-enhanced brain MRI demonstrated a 3 × 3 cm right
fronto-parietal resection cavity surrounded by a 5 × 4 cm area of
heterogeneous contrast enhancement extending to the right corona
radiata and periventricular white matter with associated
cerebral edema. The mass was not technically resectable due to
location and biopsy was consistent with GBM (Glioblastoma
multiforme), wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase and unmethylated
O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT),
with an MIB-1 index of 50%.
T1-weighted brain MRI with contrast at the time of diagnosis of radiation-induced glioblastoma multiforme.
Radiation-induced glioblastoma multiforme demonstrating
increased cellularity with marked nuclear atypia, necrosis, and
vascular endothelialization.
On January 25th of 2016, the patient underwent surgical therapy,
including fronto-parietal craniotomy, with total resection of the
tumor. On February 7th of 2016, a histopathology examination,
confirmed a diagnosis of the GBM IV stage.
In February 2017, approximately 13 months after her brain tumor
surgery, PatientCarlota had a follow-up diagnostic work-up, no
brain tumor recurrence was found. Due to the absence of tumor, no
radiotherapy was considered, and “watchful waiting” was recommended
including brain imaging studies (CT or MRI) to be repeated every 3
months. Due to the lack of the patient's consent, no chemotherapy
was implemented. During the irradiation period, Patient Carlota had
the first seizure episode, and was started on antiepileptic therapy
(Depakine 200 mg a day). she continued this therapy for the rest of
her life. After the radiotherapy, diagnostic follow-up examinations
were conducted every 3 months.
At the beginning of March 2018, tumor recurrence was found, and
the tumor was localized in an upper part of the tumor bed, within
the previously irradiated area (its size was 3.7 cm × 2.6 cm × 2.3
cm). Surprisingly, Patient Carlota had not experienced any
symptoms, and her physical and neurological examinations were
unremarkable.
On March 13th of 2019, stereotactic radiotherapy was done, using
a single dose of 8 Gy applied to the area of recurrent tumor was
performed. Unfortunately, on follow up examination, on July 6th of
2018, further progression of the GBM was found, due to the
tumor expansion, resulting in cerebral edema, herniation, and
multi-organ failure.
