Stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of recurrent high-grade gliomas: long-term follow-up
High-grade gliomas (HGG) are the most frequent primary central nervous system tumors; treatment of HCGs
includes surgery and post-operative conformal radiotherapy associated with temozolomide (TMZ or
procarbazine/lomustine/vincristine [PCV], specifically in patients with anaplastic oligodendrogliomas or
anaplastic oligoastrocytomas). However, recurrence is common. Re-irradiation has been utilized in this
setting for years and remains a feasible option, although there is always a concern regarding toxicity.
Modern high-precision conformal techniques, including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), could improve the
therapeutic ratio by delivering high biologically equivalent doses while reducing high-dose radiotherapy (RT)
to normal brain tissue. In this paper, we present the results obtained after prolonged follow-up in patients
who underwent SRS as a treatment for recurrent high-grade gliomas at San Francisco Hospital in Madrid,

Anales del III Congreso Internacional de Vivienda y Ciudad "Debate en torno a la nueva agenda urbana"
Acta de congresoEl III Congreso Internacional de Vivienda y Ciudad “Debates en torno a la NUEVa Agenda Urbana”, ha sido una apuesta de alto compromiso por acercar los debates centrales y urgentes que tensionan el pleno ejercicio del derecho a la ciudad. Para ello las instituciones organizadoras (INVIHAB –Instituto de Investigación de Vivienda y Hábitat y MGyDH-Maestría en Gestión y Desarrollo Habitacional-1), hemos convidado un espacio que se concretó con potencia en un debate transdisciplinario. Convocó a intelectuales de prestigio internacional, investigadores, académicos y gestores estatales, y en una metodología de innovación articuló las voces académicas con las de las organizaciones sociales y/o barriales en el Foro de las Organizaciones Sociales que tuvo su espacio propio para dar voz a quienes están trabajando en los desafíos para garantizar los derechos a la vivienda y los bienes urbanos en nuestras ciudades del Siglo XXI
