Central Precocious Puberty and Optic Pathway Glioma in Children with Neurofibromatosis 1: Associations with Tumor Location, Vision, and Treatment. (PubMed, J Pediatr)
Using large language model-based data analysis from two NF centers, we compared OPGs in children with NF1, with and without CPP. CPP was associated with hypothalamic involvement, poorer vision, and a higher likelihood of OPG treatment.

Seizure Presentation of a Grade II Astrocytoma in a Patient With Ollier's Disease: A Case Report and Brief Review. (PubMed, Cureus)
A literature review showed 12 additional patients diagnosed with Ollier's disease who were subsequently diagnosed with a grade II astrocytoma later in life. After reviewing the genetics behind Ollier's disease, the importance of performing routine cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in these patients becomes apparent.

Nuclear and membrane-bound hormone receptors in glioblastoma: Expression, functionality, and therapeutic implications. (PubMed, Neurooncol Adv)
Dopamine receptors, particularly DRD2 and DRD3, are emerging as regulators of glioblastoma stem cell maintenance and therapy resistance. Targeting hormone and GPCR-related pathways, especially considering sex-specific factors, offers promising avenues for developing personalized glioblastoma treatments and enhancing current therapy outcomes.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Executive Function Outcomes in Pediatric Central Nervous System Tumor Survivors. (PubMed, Actas Esp Psiquiatr)
Executive deficits are observed in individuals with brain tumors or survivors, significantly affecting their academic, social, and emotional lives. Early identification, along with educational and neuropsychological support, is essential to preventing these deficits from interfering with academic, personal, and professional functioning.

Laser interstitial thermal therapy and adjuvant pembrolizumab in recurrent high-grade astrocytoma: a Phase 1/randomized Phase 2b trial. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
LITT activated non-classical monocytes, and pembrolizumab unleashed CD8⁺ T cell proliferation, clonal expansion, and coordinated memory T-cell responses. Overall, LITT + PEM is safe and may overcome rHGA immunosuppression to generate antitumor immunity.
