Resumen

VEGA RODRIGUEZ, Aliz Mathild; RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ, Matilde Irene; WILKINSON BRITO, Bárbara  y  FERNANDEZ LORENTE, Aymara. Astrocytic tumors:: a disease approach. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.3, pp.362-372. ISSN 1684-1824.

Cancer is a serious health problem around the world. The majority of primary tumors of the Central Nervous System are of astrocytic lineage. In this review we provide an overview of several aspects related to this type of tumor, that includes classification, prognostic factors, therapy, and angiogenic factors. Glioblastoma Multiforme is diagnosed in patients at a much higher frequency. Standard treatment for patients with astrocytic tumors is surgery followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, immunotherapy and gene therapy studies are increasing to become other therapeutic options in these patients.

Palabras clave : astrocytic tumors; cancer; immunotherapy; treatment.
