Yüksek evreli gliomlarda radyoterapiye eşlik eden temozolamid tedavisi ve psödoprogresyon kavramı

Abstract

High grade gliomas need serious follow up in post operativeperiod. It might be necessary to re-operate due to tumor progression in this period. In addition, some changes because ofradiotherapy and chemotherapy might act like tumor progression. This condition is called pseudoprogression and its mana- gement is different. Therefore pseudoprogression is a newcondition that should be known and considered via followingup high grade gliomas. Studies for this subject increase in literature. We aimed to explain this new condition with a casethat we assumed as pseudoprogression having high degreeglioma.
