Abstract excerpt
Using a microdissection technique, the contribution of the p53 mutation to tumorigenesis and prognosis in each histological subtype of the intracranial germ cell tumors (GCTs) was evaluated. Nineteen patients had primary intracranial GCTs, including 4 germinomas (GEs), 4 teratomas (TEs), 1 mixed tumor of GE and TE, and 10 mixed GCTs containing non-germinomatous malignant germ cell tumors (NG-MGCTs). After...
