Anatomic mapping of molecular subtypes in diffuse glioma
BACKGROUND Tumor location served as an important prognostic factor in glioma patients was considered to postulate molecular features according to cell origin theory. However, anatomic distribution of unique molecular subtypes was not widely investigated. The relationship between molecular phenotype and histological subgroup were also vague based on tumor location. Our group focuses on the study...
متن کاملCirculatory YKL-40 & NLR: Underestimated Prognostic Indicators in Diffuse Glioma
In addition to histopathological parameters, evaluation of associated hematological factors is essential for devising a sensitive prognostic scale in glioma. Increased neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a marker of systemic inflammatory response, has recently been associated with worse outcome in various cancers. Given that glioma progression is characterized by inflammation, aggressive angioge...
متن کاملMolecular Subtypes of Glioblastoma Are Relevant to Lower Grade Glioma
BACKGROUND Gliomas are the most common primary malignant brain tumors in adults with great heterogeneity in histopathology and clinical course. The intent was to evaluate the relevance of known glioblastoma (GBM) expression and methylation based subtypes to grade II and III gliomas (ie. lower grade gliomas). METHODS Gene expression array, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and clinica...
متن کاملPathology, Molecular Genetics, and Epigenetics of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a devastating pediatric brain cancer with no effective therapy. Histological similarity of DIPG to supratentorial high-grade astrocytomas of adults has led to assumptions that these entities possess similar underlying molecular properties and therefore similar therapeutic responses to standard therapies. The failure of all clinical trials in the last 3...
متن کاملMR imaging of diffuse glioma.
Neuroradiologic diagnosis of "gliomatosis cerebri" is hampered by the diffuse, isodense character of the lesion, and the fact that it may not enhance when intravenous contrast medium is administered. Clinical signs and symptoms are usually nonspecific, nonfocal, and disproportionately mild. We report a case of diffuse glioma in a 30-year-old man, discuss the difficulty in arriving at a precise ...
