Resumo

Introdução: Os gliomas são os tumores cerebrais primários mais frequentes, representando mais de 80% de todas as neoplasias primárias do sistema nervoso central. Esses tumores são classificados em diferentes subtipos histológicos, sendo os principais o astrocitoma, o oligodendroglioma e o glioblastoma. Dentre eles, o glioblastoma destaca-se como o subtipo mais comum e agressivo, associado a prognóstico reservado, mesmo diante de abordagens terapêuticas multimodais que combinam ressecção cirúrgica, radioterapia e quimioterapia com temozolomida


Objetivo: Analisar a associação da expressão de CD114 com a sobrevida em pacientes com glioma.


Método: Os artigos foram selecionados por meio de busca nas seguintes  bases  de  dados:  Biblioteca  Virtual  em  Saúde  (BVS), Medline, PubMed e SciELO.  Os descritores  utilizados  foram  “CSF3R, CD114, fator estimulador de colônias de granulócitos, glioma, glioblastoma, tumor cerebral”, realizando  busca  avançada  combinando-os  com o operador booleano AND.


Resultado:  Foram analisados 95 artigos.


Conclusão: Existe associação entre a alta expressão de CSF3R/CD114 e o pior prognóstico dos pacientes, refletido pela redução da sobrevida global em diferentes tipos de tumores gliais.
