    Abstract Purpose of review: This article discusses common and emergent medical complications encountered in patients with primary brain tumors.
    Recent findings: Clinical studies and systematic reviews published in recent years have improved knowledge regarding the incidence of neurologic and medical complications occurring in patients with primary brain tumors. Studies in tumor-related epilepsy and venous thromboembolism provide data for the clinician to make evidence-based decisions about perioperative management, prophylaxis, and therapy. Patients with brain tumors experience unique toxicities related to novel drugs and chemotherapeutics that result in hematologic, infectious, and endocrine disorders. Recent work that has focused on quality of life in patients with brain tumors highlights the importance of good supportive care and optimal medical management of neurobehavioral symptoms and late complications of treatment.
    Summary: A thorough understanding of the variety of medical and neurologic complications in patients with primary brain tumors improves the clinician's ability to quickly recognize and manage common and urgent conditions.

    Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent, often irreversible and disabling adverse effect of many commonly used chemotherapeutic agents. Older patients are at particular risk of developing CIPN due to comorbid conditions affecting the health of peripheral nerves. Symptoms of CIPN include paresthesias, dysesthesias, sensory loss, motor weakness, dysautonomia, and falls. Pharmacologic management of CIPN involves use of medications including antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and topical treatments for modulation of neuropathic pain. These medications should be used and monitored carefully in older patients as they may increase the risk of confusion, falls, and drug-drug interactions. Patients with CIPN are at an increased risk of falls and should be considered for supportive care interventions including physical and occupational therapy, assistive devices, and safety evaluations. Surveillance of CIPN during and following treatment is essential. The development of neuropathic symptoms may require dose reduction, drug holiday, or transitioning to another chemotherapeutic agent. Symptoms of CIPN typically improve following exposure to neurotoxic therapy, although in older adults the rate of improvement may be slow, and recovery is often incomplete. Early involvement of a neurologist should be considered in patients with atypical, progressive, motor- or autonomic- predominant presentations of neuropathy. Patients with refractory neuropathic pain or those who cannot tolerate standard symptomatic treatment should be referred to a pain specialist or palliative care.

    Abstract Glioblastoma, a WHO grade IV astrocytoma, is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. It is characterized by molecular heterogeneity and aggressive behavior. Glioblastoma is almost always incurable and most older patients survive less than 6 months. Supportive care with steroids and anti-epileptic drugs is critical to improving and maintain quality of life. Young age, good performance status and methylation of the methyl guanyl methyl transferase promoter are important positive prognostic factors. Several recent clinical trials suggest that there is a subset of the elderly with prolonged survival that is comparable to younger patients. Treatment of glioblastoma in older patients includes maximal safe resection followed by either radiation, chemotherapy or combined modality therapy. Recent advances suggest that some patients can avoid radiation entirely and be treated with chemotherapy alone. Decisions about therapy are individual and based on a patient's performance status, family support and molecular features. Future work needs to better determine the role for comprehensive geriatric assessments in this patient population to better identify patients who may most benefit from aggressive therapies.

    Abstract Background: Adult pilocytic astrocytomas are rare and highly vascular tumors.
    Aim: We hypothesized that they may be uniquely responsive to bevacizumab (BEV).
    Patients: We present four adult patients with pathologically diagnosed WHO grade I pilocytic astrocytoma who had robust and durable responses to BEV at time of recurrence. Three patients developed radiographic changes on MRI, consistent with progressive disease based on response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria. Median time to recurrence was 8.5 months.
    Methods: All patients were treated with six cycles of BEV for recurrence.
    Results: At the end of treatment, all patients had achieved a clinical and radiographic response. Median follow-up time after BEV is 20.5 months.
    Conclusion: This suggests that BEV may have true antitumor activity in adult pilocytic astrocytomas and may be important for achieving durable disease control.

    Abstract Objective: To describe treatment toxicities and polypharmacy in older patients with malignant gliomas (MG).
    Background: Advanced age in cancer patients is associated with increased treatment-related toxicities, acute care utilization and functional decline. Most patients with MG are over age 65, yet treatment patterns and toxicities are poorly defined.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review of 125 patients with MG age 65 or older at the University of Rochester from January 2012 to December 2018.
    Results: 115 patients with glioblastoma and 10 with anaplastic astrocytoma had a median age of 71 (range 65-89) at diagnosis and median overall survival (OS) of 10.3 months. Radiotherapy (RT) was offered and completed in 79% (fractionated, n = 69, hypofractionated, n = 30). 24% of the 98 patients treated with concurrent temozolomide (TMZ) experienced treatment delays (n = 24). Median of 4 cycles of adjuvant TMZ were taken by 61% (n = 76). Delays and dose reductions occurred in 55% during treatment with adjuvant TMZ, most commonly due to thrombocytopenia (n = 29) and fatigue (n = 15). 16/98 patients required transfusions during treatment with concurrent or adjuvant TMZ. At baseline, patients were prescribed a median of 11 medications. OS was longer in patients prescribed less than 8 medications vs. 8 or more (14 vs. 8.6 months, p = .0738). 96% experienced a non-elective hospital admission and 64% reported at least one fall.
    Conclusion: Older patients with MG experience significant polypharmacy, treatment toxicities and falls. Studies incorporating geriatric assessment tools may better determine associations between geriatric syndromes and survival. Clinical trials in older patients should also include non-survival outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) has limited treatment options. This phase 1 protocol was designed to study the safety and preliminary efficacy of TPI 287, a central nervous system penetrant microtubule stabilizer, in combination with bevacizumab (BEV) for the treatment of rGBM.
    Methods: GBM patients with up to 2 prior relapses without prior exposure to anti-angiogenic therapy were eligible. A standard 3 + 3 design was utilized to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TPI 287. Cohorts received TPI 287 at 140-220 mg/m
    Results: Twenty-four patients were enrolled at 6 centers. Treatment was generally well tolerated. Fatigue, myelosuppression, and peripheral neuropathy were the most common treatment emergent adverse events. Dose-limiting toxicity was not observed, thus the MTD was not determined. Twenty-three patients were evaluable for median and 6-month progression-free survival, which were 5.5 months (mo) and 40%, respectively. Median and 12-month overall survival were 13.4 mo and 64%, respectively. The optimal phase 2 dose was determined to be 200 mg/m
    Conclusions: TPI 287 can be safely combined with BEV for the treatment of rGBM and preliminary efficacy supports further investigation of this combination.

    Abstract Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a prevalent, dose-limiting, tough-to-treat toxicity involving numbness, tingling, and pain in the extremities with enigmatic pathophysiology. This randomized controlled pilot study explored the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of exercise during chemotherapy on CIPN and the role of the interoceptive brain system, which processes bodily sensations.
    Methods: Nineteen patients (65±11 years old, 52% women; cancer type: breast, gastrointestinal, multiple myeloma) starting neurotoxic chemotherapy were randomized to 12 weeks of exercise (home-based, individually tailored, moderate intensity, progressive walking and resistance training) or active control (nutrition education). At pre-, mid-, and post-intervention, we assessed CIPN symptoms (primary clinical outcome: CIPN-20), CIPN signs (tactile sensitivity using monofilaments), and physical function (leg strength). At pre- and post-intervention, we used task-free ("resting") fMRI to assess functional connectivity in the interoceptive brain system, involving the salience and default mode networks.
    Results: The study was feasible (74-89% complete data across measures) and acceptable (95% retention). We observed moderate/large beneficial effects of exercise on CIPN symptoms (CIPN-20, 0-100 scale: -7.9±5.7, effect size [ES]=-0.9 at mid-intervention; -4.8±7.3, -ES=0.5 at post-intervention), CIPN signs (ES=-1.0 and -0.1), and physical function (ES=0.4 and 0.3). Patients with worse CIPN after neurotoxic chemotherapy had lower functional connectivity within the default mode network (R
    Conclusion: Exercise during neurotoxic chemotherapy is feasible and may attenuate CIPN symptoms and signs, perhaps via changes in interoceptive brain circuitry. Future work should test for replication with larger samples. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03021174.
