Analysis for Association between Genomic Information and Survival Rate of Glioblastoma Multiforme
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to combat cancer, more and more efforts have been made in genome studies, as cancer is likely to be caused by errors in DNA that let the cells grow uncontrolled. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant brain tumor, and it has a very low survival rate of about one year [1]. It is significant, if some relationship can be found between the survival rate of GBM patients and the genome information. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project collects tumor tissue donated by cancer patients. The TCGA data contains clinical information, genomic characterization data and high-throughput sequencing analysis of the tumor genomes [2].

Background and Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant and invasive tumor of the brain. The relation between prognosis and survival of GBM patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) expression is challenging. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the prognosis and survival of patients with GBM and its relationship with EGFR expression. Materials and Methods: This single...

Introduction: The brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain, which is one of the most important challenges in neurology. Brain tumors have different types. Some brain tumors are benign and some brain tumors are cancerous and malignant. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest malignant brain tumor in adults. The average survival rate for peo...
متن کاملGenomic Analysis of the BMP Family in Glioblastomas
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a grade IV glioma with a median survival of 15 months. Recently, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling has been shown to promote survival in xenograft murine models. To gain a better understanding of the role of BMP signaling in human GBMs, we examined the genomic alterations of 90 genes associated with BMP signaling in GBM patient samples. We completed thi...
