Central neurocytoma
Description
Six cases of central neurocytoma arising in the lateral ventricles were treated in authors' department. The diagnoses were confirmed by means of ultrastructural analyses. Three cases were irradiated only locally, with 2 Gy/d for up to 50 Gy. The other three cases were treated with a combination of whole-brain irradiation (32-40 Gy), local irradiation (20-32 Gy), and chemotherapy. The radiosensitivity of these tumors is considered not to be very poor. The treatment results were quite favorable. All six patients are alive and well with no evidence of recurrence many months after the completion of radiation therapy
